i have tried the following steps before i post this topic

1. partition mac mini HDD 80gb) into 2 equal size with format Mac OS X Extended Journaled

2. install with Leopard which the DVD come with Mac Mini install

3. Successfully installed

4. load in Tiger ( installation disc from Mac book Pro), and hit the restart option in the dvd

5. it loaded in to installation screen but it show " this software cannot install at this machine"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

then i think it was leopard OS which deny the installation for Tiger, so I

6. Re-format the HDD with Tiger Installation Disc

7. Partition with equal size with format Mac OS X Extended Journaled

8. Install the Tiger Installation Disc.

9. Same problem Occur.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. change the installation disc (Tiger) , i sure it work, because just formated with that DVD few weeks ago.

11. same error message com out


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could anyone help me?


Thanks

maybe this is because the tiger installation disc is specifically for macbook pro only. I encountered this problem when my fren tried to use my macbook tiger installation disc to install on his powerbook.

try to find a retail pack tiger installation disc and see whether it will work or not
