When introduced, it was the most powerful computer in Apple's Macintosh lineup, and was marketed by the company as the world's first 64-bit desktop computer. from 2003 to 2006 as part of the Power Mac series. type:īoot ud:,\\:tbxi - This will start to boot from USB.The Power Mac G5 is a series of personal computers designed, manufactured, and sold by Apple Computer, Inc. Once you find ud with your Leopard or Tiger disk in the drive.
Next type "devalias" and search for "ud". Hold down OPT+COMMAND+O+F to get into Open Firmware. You also have USB on the OWC External which you ordered. and this is what your would find in order to boot the PowerPC using USB. 4TB wouldn't work as you would have to partition it.ĭevalias also called: device alias - shows what hardware devices are on your logic board. I believe the Apple Partition Map can only accept up to 3TB. 2.7TB sounds like the norm as some space is reserved for the operating system, so no problem there. Remember, these drives come pre-formatted for PC's, so you need to format it for Mac using PowerPC's APM partition scheme. As for the 3TB Barracuda, did you format the drive in Disk Utility as Apple Partition or APM? You got the 100.00 OWC external which is nice also. Thats a shame, man! That superdrive is a great little drive for what I use it for and its fast, boots up Tiger and Leopard in no time. Now I want to try what you suggest, except I don't know how to 1 or 2 or check for 3. But I'm trying to install their software!!! And if I can't, then I have to return Leopard! No sale.Īnyway, rant over. That just means Apple doesn't make one, so you don't care. Really?!! You don't know one single dual layer optical drive upgrade that will work in a G5?!! Bullcrap. I tried anyway and I saw the big black X and folder, but when I restarted it to load it, the same thing came up again and again: "restart to load" Now I'm looking for an internal DL optical drive that will read this Leopard disk and even Mac tech people at the store threw their hands up. Hi, I have a dual 2.0 and I'm trying to install Leopard from Tiger 10.4.11, but my optical "doesn't read it." I went to Best Buy and got this LG USB op drive ( BRW/CD-RW+Drive/5584219.p?id=1218666587572&skuId=5584219), but it says it needs 10.5.4 or higher to run it: a catch 22, as I need it to install Leopard, which I need in order to run the drive to install Leopard, ad infinitum.
