Hi All,
I am Bel, My system is a G4, Dual 1gig Quicksilver. It's a great machine but a little bit dated. I am currently running OS X.4.11 (Tiger), and will like to install OS X.5 (Leopard) but the machine will not accept it. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ???. Thanks in advance. I love my mac, and have always been MAC-CO-CIOUS (just a playful made up word). However, I hope to learn from the community and endeavour to make positive contributions at all times.

Hi Bel,
Does your machine meet the requirements for Leopard posted here http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950 ?
Also, are you using a retail install disc? Model specific discs will not be able to install a system on your quicksilver.

Anything posted by me is not to be taken seriously.

A dual 1ghz G4 will run Leopard fine, so long as it has at least 512 MB of memory. The problem may be the disk - I've had trouble installing Leopard on some older computers because of the disk drive. Creating a DVD-sized partition on an external hard drive and "restoring" a disk image of the Leopard install DVD onto it solved my problems.
I am now telling the computer exactly what it can do.
