So I ordered Tiger CDs from AppleRescue for my G4 PowerPC, because someone or several someones in the Mac forums recommended them for software. In the first set three out of four of the disks were defective, including the first one. (The computer couldn't load them and finally spit them out.) AppleRescue sent me a new set, but Install Disk 1 seems to have big problems. Or maybe not. I'd like some advice before I go back to AppleRescue with my tale of woe and ask them either to refund my money (but I'm not sure they'll do that) or send me another disk.
Here's the story:
The disk loads, but Norton Antivirus, which checks disks automatically, reports (at the very end of the scanning process) an error in a file that seems to have a few numbers and lots of symbols and what look like Greek letters.
I then used Disk Warrior, which reported that it had repaired serious errors and made an optimized replacement directory, but of course, it couldn't replace the old directory, because the disk is locked.
The Finder (this is still in OS 9.2.2 on my G4 desktop Mac--the kind with a tower) reports an 'error of type -35.
Norton's Speed Disk mentions 'light' fragmentation, and the image has various white spaces in it. Again, I can't optimize the disk, because it is locked.
Norton Disk Doctor (I know that mrmacfixit scorns it, but it can be informative) reported a major error,'No blessed folder, but there appears to be a System Folder (16,1,19).' Also minor errors in Applications:Utilities: Contents Resources. There are three of those. It reported bundle bits being off, System Library Fonts (Helvetica TMM and Times TMM) and something to do with Japanese.
When the disk opened on the desktop, I couldn't open 'Read Before You Install' because it said that it couldn't be used 'with this version of the Mac OS or there is a problem with' (the file? the disk?). It suggests reinstalling the OS package, but of course, I haven't done that yet.
I expect you're going to tell me to get AppleRescue to send me yet other disks, and that's what I ordinarily would do, although so far, --between writing to them and the disks arriving--it's taken weeks even to get this far. What I was wondering is whether this truly is a function of a wonky disk or maybe something else. With the first set of disks, it was all clear; with this one, and only one of the four disks having a pout, I thought there might be another explanation or that what is being reported won't either harm my computer or keep me from using the OS successfully.
One more thing: I trusted that what I'd be getting was a proper set of Apple disks, and it's represented as such and as a universal version of the OS. The 'X' on the disks is grey, though. Does that mean that what I got isn't altogether as it should be? I wasn't being stingy; I just thought that because they came from a source known to some of you, they could be relied on.
Sorry this is so long. I just am hoping that having the entire narrative will allow you to give me (once again) your fine advice.
Please don't tell me, anybody, that it serves me right for not getting a new Mac. (I imagine you chafing, Pete, at the idea of my still not having sprung to an Intel Mac, but I know it's kindly meant.) I'm going to do that sometime after Leopard comes out and any little problems it may have are worked out. I also am under a lot of time pressure, so I didn't want to have to make a decision without being free to think it through and to have the time necessary for upgrading the rest of my hardware. What I have now is quite old, but apparently, Tiger has drivers for the printer, at least, and probably for the rest of the stuff. I can therefore apply my time and money to upgrading the software I shall need now, apart from OS X, and get the rest later. It's a lot to do, even without going to Intel.
Thank you in advance for your advice. I hope I won't have to get back to AppleRescue (lovely people, but I'm getting discouraged), but at least, I'll have some idea of whether what is wrong (if something really is wrong) requires that or I can safely install the OS without harming anything or missing anything important.
Ever appreciative of these forums,

I've had Mac OS X Lion installed on a mid-2011 iMac. I've erased the main partition and when I try to repair OS installation it connects to the Internet and says that it can't continue and I should contact Apple Support. I don't have original CD which should've come with an iMac. How can I install at least some version of OS X?

Update: I've downloaded what looks like an installation app for Mac OS X Lion with a 4.6Gb InstallESD.dmg file but can't open it on Windows. I've tried PowerISO and MagicISO to no effect. Is it possible to create Mac OS installation media on Windows?

If you don't have access to another computer:

  • Try and get Internet Recovery to work. Apple has details on this here: About OS X Recovery – basically, given high speed internet access and enough time, the recovery partition installed with Mac OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion should enable you to download the installer. You can then reinstall the system. Given your vague error description it's hard to diagnose the problem here, but this is the usual way to go.

  • Apple used to sell USB keys with a Mac OS X Lion installer on it for around $60. They don't appear to do this anymore but maybe you can find one.

If you have access to another Mac:

Install
  • Download the OS X Lion installer from another Mac's App Store using your Apple ID. Once you downloaded the installer you can create a bootable flash drive using /Applications/Install OS X Lion.app. Ars Technica has an in-depth guide on how to do that: How to create a bootable, backup Mountain Lion install disk

  • Not feeling like hacking? Let Lion DiskMaker do the job for you:

    Lion Disk Maker is an application […] that you can use […] to burn a DVD or build a bootable drive from Mac OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion Installation program.

    It requires you to download the installer through the App Store just like above, but creating the USB drive is now way easier.

  • If you don't have access to a Mac with App Store installed, you need to find your installer elsewhere. The internet is full of … 'places' where you can find installer images for OS X versions. I'll leave it up to you to find them. These installers contain a .dmg disk image, which you can restore to a USB key the same way as explained in the Ars Technica article above.

    Basically, you'll need to open Disk Utility, then select your 8 GB USB key, partition it fully with Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

    Then from the Restore tab, restore your .dmg to the newly created partition:

    You can now use your USB key like an installation disc.

  • For older versions of OS X (10.5, 10.6), you will also have to find an installation medium since there's no way to get them from the App Store, but the rest of the process is the same.

Mac Os X 10.4 Download

If you only have access to a Windows PC:

  • You will need the OS X install disk image (see above for various methods on how to obtain one), then use the 15-day free trial of TransMac to copy the disk image to your USB drive. Be aware that other Windows tools might not be able to read the Apple-native DMG files.

    The right-side panel of TransMac allows you to right click your USB drive, the format the disk with the disk image. Point it to your .dmg file and click Open.

    MacDrive, which offers a 5-day trial, probably does the same, but I haven't been able to verify this yet.
