[G4] Tiger disc invisible on G4

[Dextepayne at aol.com]

Hi, Im driving 10.3.9 on a 400 MHz dual-boot G4 AGP desktop:

   L2 Cache (per CPU):     1 MB
   Memory:     960 MB
   Bus Speed:     100 MHz
   Boot ROM Version:     3.2.2f1

Bought   a set of Apple disks to install Tiger and they wont even show up om 
my desktop. OK, the disks say iMac G5, but I tried them in my friends G4 
powerbook and they at least show up.   Am I barking up the wrong tree?

I suspect the drive in this computer -- its a little sketchy about 
recognizing CDs sometimes and I have to read them into iTunes on my external scsi 
burner. Is there a way to test the drive? Its original, I believe:


MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8585:
   Capacity:     725.34 MB
   Model:     MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8585
   Revision:     1A28
   Serial Number:     
   Drive Type:     CD-ROM/DVD-ROM
   Removable Media:     Yes
   Detachable Drive:     No
   BSD Name:     disk2
   Protocol:     ATAPI
   Unit Number:     0
   Socket Type:     Internal
   OS9 Drivers:     No

Any help or advice greatly appreciated!
