Hi everyone, I have this issue, A friend computer iBook G4 1.2 Ghz Power PC, 512 RAM with Mac OS X 10.2.8

First : Very Slow to Startup and show the Desktop about 10 Mins, then the Desktop it´s Loaded and you can work on it, but very slow in all tasks(open files or browse internet with safari for example).

Second: I think to upgrade to Tiger(10.4), but when I´m trying to start from the internal DVD Drive, The Computer Freeze and I can´t work on it, I´m trying to boot up from a External USB DVD Drive(work fine before in other cases), but I have the same problem, when the Language Select option appear to select the language option , the computer go to freeze.

Some Advice to attack the problem. Could be a HDD Problem?

Thanks for your comments.

Sincerely Edgard B.
