We i turn it on i put the CD in and at just doesn't boot from it i don't kno wut i am doing wrong so if you can please help me i;d much appreciate it. and i am not a big fan of apples i am more into PC's. so i don't kno much in how to use a mac. please help me. thank you very much. oh and i also have windows vista ultimate and was wondering if i can put that instead of OS X tiger? but first i need to kno how to boot off of it. because i kno that in a regualar PC you either press F12 or Esc to go to the setup menu but i don't see that with the Mac.

the key is 'C'.
reboot while holding down the c key... and it will boot from the cd/dvd.

Its crammed, yet luckilly Powerbooks grant alot of secure practices in getting back documents. Take it to the place to procure it from or a registered Apple service service and get it regarded at. it ought to value a splash somewhat, yet its well worth it. Ask questions on an identical time as your there and be confident to tell them precisely what occurred to it.

I ebayed my Mac a few months ago and bought a cheap PC instead. Best decision I ever made!
