[G4] G4 won't read OS X upgrade CDs

[David Minger NPG Cable]

To clarify: The G4 533 will accept the install Tiger DVD meaning you  
can put it in and it knows there is a DVD there. But when you try to  
actually upgrade the system closes out the DVD and will not perform  
the install.

The same install DVD worked fine on a G4 450.

The same G4 533 reads all other DVDs just fine.

It would seem odd that a faster machine (the 533) could not perform  
the same OS install that a slower machine (the 450) did just fine  
with. Both machines are running with over a gig of RAM and plenty of  
free disk space.

Cheers,
David
