My G4 DP 1 GHZ for the first time in 4 years froze earlier this week and again tonight (I just ran the latest 10.3 upgrade - that will teach me I guess). Problem is this time it will not restart and I get the flashing ? icon. I ran the hardware CD and no problems detected there. I have a firewire drive I backed up to complete with Carbon Copy Cloner just about a week ago (before I ran the software update), but I cannot get the mac to boot off the firewire drive. First I tried the Command-Option-Shift-Delete on start up, but it just sat there for 15 minutes - no boot up. I tried just using Option on start up, but I only see two icons - one a sort of circle arrow and one a arrow pointing to the right and neither does anything noticable when clicked.
How the heck can I get my Mac to boot off this drive? Of course I cannot select it as the start up drive with a Mac that won't start. I'm trying to be calm, but any help would be appreciated.
