I am presently running mac 9.2 and osx 10.3.9 on my imac g3. i have installed ex post facto on my mac, and am trying to install 10.4 from a portable dvd drive hooked into the usb port. the upgrade drop in disk is recognized, but when i run expost facto it says the upgrade disk is not bootable and will not work. any suggestions? the upgrade disk is an offical drop in upgrade disk to 10.4 i bought off ebay.

Actually it says device (portable dvd drive) is not bootable) and I cannot set 10.3.9 to boot from this drive
it's a 350mhz with a slot cd drive, no firewire port. i've upgraded the hard disk and the memory is 512 (i believe maximum)
I've even tried rebooting pressing down on the "c" key, the dvd drive doesnt show in the boot choice.
CD versions of Tiger exist. That would probably be the only way to get Tiger onto your machine, considering it has no FireWire and I'm pretty sure is actually too old to boot from USB at all.
