    Are you talking about the installation of the software? The Operating system? What kind of errors are you recieving?

    Whatever was wrong, did it work correctly when you went back to the original OS?

    Roberto,

    It may be that you might have corrupted Tiger disk...
    Try this - get the system disk that you wish to install tiger on. Install it into another Mac. Erase the hard disk, and install Tiger as usual. Repair disk preferences. Update to 10.4.6.
    Reboot.
    Shutdown and remove the drive. Install it in your 2.7Ghz.

    It is always worth having a Firewire disk with two bootable partitions on it: one for 10.3.x systems with a ready to go OS version with everything setup, and one with 10.4.6 on it.
    Here's how it works:
    Boot from your firewire disk, by powering up the recalcicrant Mac whilst holding the Option key. Select the appropriate disk partition on your firewire disk. Use disk utility to erase the dodgy system disk.

    You can then use Carbon copy cloner or Super Duper
    http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/
    to copy your disk partition onto the system disk.
    Change the Start up disk in system preferences and off you go.

    It is always worth repairing your disk permissions before doing a OS Update. Disk permissions can get messed around by dodgy applications, installers and drivers. Boot from your Mac OS disks and use Disk Utility to sort them out.

    Ciao Roberto , b 4 installing the 1.4.x update the system should verify the DVD , if the dvd it's verified then the problem must be in some procedure during installtion .

    any way I suggest you to do not install the complete language package , use italian only it will use less HD space and I think it will speed up Spot Light indexing .

    About Spot light : you may found the new OS get slower in the first days , that's normal. I suggest you to keep your G5 on all night , the next day it will be faster .

    Ciao

    why I did wrote this in english ?
