| Problems installing 10.3 on 333 iMac and new 40 gig hd I just upgraded the hard drive in my G3 iMac (333 MHz, 512 RAM, 40 GB). I partitioned the hard drive and successfully got through the CD 1. At the end, it says to restart the machine, which I do. It then boots off the CD and wants to start the installation over, not continue to CD 2. If I start to reinstall, I can see that only 5.7 of the 7GB partition is available, so it definitely installed something. And the installer sees that OS X is on there, since it offers to "upgrade" the OS, rather than install it. However, if I restart the computer with the HD selected as the startup disk, nothing happens. Sounds like I'm in an ugly loop. Anyone experience this? Josh  |

| Have you installed the correct firmware update for that iMac? I believe it's required in order to run Mac OS X... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
