has this happened on another computer or have you used the CD printer before in your same iMac?

The issue you are having is one in Intel, the other is G3.
This is how to do it. 1. put the cd/dvd into the laptop and restart the laptop in Target mode.
2. connect the laptop to the iMac with a Firewire cable.
3. Start the imac and immediatle hold down the alt/option key.
4. after a moment you will be offered a choice of start-up discs - one of which will be the CD/dvd in the laptop.
5. Start from the CD and then when asked, select the iMac drive as the destination. This ensures that the imac loads the correct version of the OS for its processor. Should work without a hitch.
