evening all,

a friend of the company i work for is moving and in the process discovered 2 power pc g4's,
he was going to chuck them so i said id have one for my gf.
he didnt have any of the disks for them and i want to do a format and re-install.
never used a mac before and wanted to know if i can, how i would go about it with out having the disks,i want to spend as little as possible on this btw

thanks for any help

seems to be working fine, she will only be using it for facebook and stuff, better than her dead laptop

it already has tiger on it i think os x 10.4? its from 2002 on the back it says power mac g4
in the system panel its says power mac g4, powermac3,6

i think in the wiki its this one. Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors 2003)

Depending on the processor speed you'll be able to put either Tiger or Leopard on.

Either way you'll be looking to get your hands on a retail DVD, the 'bay (either one ) is your best bet for that.

i see what you did there lol i will have a look. i didnt know if there were hidden recovery parts for me to use so i dont have to spend monies
