Huh? Could you rephrase your question? What kind of disks?

do you mean that your CD died? If so, put all the stuff back into the box and
take that box back to the store and have 'em replace it. When I bought Jaguar
the first box I got had a bad CD, I called the mail order people I'd got it
from and they shipped a replacement without even waiting for me to send back
the bad one. If the vendor declines to replace your CD, don't do any more
business with them. Do you mean that your hard disk has a problem? If so,
back it up, buy a new drive, put your stuff on the new drive, and upgrade
that drive.

That would be two separate copies of Disk One gave a verification error
at 97%. That was the first set and the replacement set. The Hard Drive
passes all tests successfully.

What machine are you installing on? Have you changed the optical drive? Have
you tried using the CDs on a different Mac? Have you tried borrowing an
external optical drive?

Before any more time and effort is wasted trying to extract useful
information from Mr Meech, I suggest that everybody read through the
thread he started on this topic in comp.sys.mac.apps. You might also
want to look at "Ipod Shuffle doesn't work with Jaguar" in the same
newsgroup.

Ah. I just had a look.

Still, if I had a machine which had problems verifying the install CD, I'd
first suspect the CD. If a second CD had the same problem in the same place,
I'd suspect the drive. It's simple enough to attach an external FireWire
drive. Mr. Meech allegedly has some kind of a consultancy; he _should_ have
access to external drives. And one of the more common upgrades for G3s (both
beige and B&W) and early model G4s was to pull the optical drive and replace
it with a CD or a DVD burner. This tends to result in consultants having a
bunch of old, Apple-factory-supplied, known working and booting, optical
drives hanging around and gathering dust either at his place or at one or
more customer site(s). Getting hold of one such drive and putting it into a
FireWire case ain't exactly rocket science. I'm looking at one such drive
right now, a DVD drive from a graphite G4 stuck into a no-name Chinese case.
It works quite well.
