Hi
just acquired a G3 blue and grey imac - no installation discs or p/word.
Tiny 10 GB drive - full up so I have put in a 40 GB drive from my old pc
(fujitsu)
Machine starts and goes to flashing folder with question mark. I have tried to get it to boot on Tiger ( Apple disc), Panther (apple disc) even tried leopard for a last ditch attempt to load disc utilities. Still no joy. Read the old info
reset pram, reset the open firmware, tried all the boot option commands on the web. The machine starts scans the dvd or cd and then spits it out again.
Anyone got any suggestions or am I trying to do something that cant be done?
regards
Norman
