If you hold down the C key on boot-up this should boot from your disk drives before any OS on a hard drive. If you wanna open the disk drives first hold down the mouse button Good luck

please help, I believe I have a corrupt HD but it is in the vertical HD cassette at the back of my G4... I know this might sound silly but although I can remove the casette under the disk drives. I don't seem to be able to remove the vertical cassette even to check it. I would appreciate...

Thanks for the response, but I don't know how the jumpers would have altertered as I haven't opened my G4 since the problems occured!!! I will check tonight. Any other ideas why the spinning ball would occur when you click on ANYTHING and then freeze the Finder even without any applications...

I'm sorry if this seems a little repetative, I have searched for similar threads which may contain an answer, but nothing I can see is exactly the issue. I have had an ongoing issue with my MAC G4 OSX 10.3.9.. to the point where I have reinstalled OSX and run updates. Before this I did run...

I have just moved home, and as most of you are probably aware just by simply turning your mac off and packing it up and moving to new location, somehow this means you are subjected to problems and changes when you reboot at the new location. This time I have had my resolution changed...

Nice1 BobW... I have a G4 1.25Ghz with 512meg standard RAM which came with machine. I have done 2 fresh installs of OSX 10.3 but have manually archieved my apps and then copied back... I guess I am answering my own question... I have a dodgy app i guess. DOnt think its a hardware issue...

Ok people, I have reinstalled OSX twice now and I am still getting this problem where my mac puts itself into some half shut down / half sleep mode. Will the disk utilty still help me rectify this issue??? Or can anybody suggest another alternative.. Also I unfortunately lost some important...

Jason My music library is already on another drive... so all i have to do is copy the preferences ??? and that will replicatate my library after fresh install?

I am about to reinstall OSX 10.3 onto my G4. I have done this before but I am always releuctant to because it means I have to reorganise my whole library into sub folders and retype the names for alot. Now that my music library exceeds 7000 songs this can turn into many hours of...

I have just purchased a pioneer DVDR108 for my G4 1.25 (OSX 10.3.7) I have installed the drive in the place of a DVDR104 so straight forward replacement. I rebooted and checked in Toast and the drive is recognised. But when I go to eject the drive it makes a sound, like it wants to come out...

OK, Viro thanx for posting link to JDiskReport, D/L and run and it backs up my original calculation that there is 9Gb on there NOT 9Gb left. I have still got roughly 18Gb unaccounted for. How do I now go about locating it, Would it just be easier to wipe / reinstall the drive or could this...

I have a friend who is a unix operator and we sat there for 4hrs last night trying to find these "hidden files". I one point I thought it was the Virtual PC I had installed but i think that was down to unix showing the file size in bytes instead of Kbytes. But I have still no idea where my...

That is what I am experiencing... this hidden file nonsense (to answer your first question this didn't happen over time, i lost 18Gb off 2 drives in 20 mins!!!) The terminal is the Unix version of the command line... right ? I am not confident enough to go messing with this without the...

Although after checking the links it doesn't seem to be the same as my problem. To be more specific: Nothing to do with memory.... I was using DVDBackup and DVD2ONE, I went to drop a copy of the dvd image onto a separate drive, a warning flashed up saying that there was not enough disk space...

Nice one for the advice I'll look into prices now cheers

This one is really puzzling me... I checked the amount available on 2 of my HD and it doesn;t match the data size I have calculated on the drive (out by about 10Gb) any ideas ???? I have tried using disk first aid via / disk Utilities but the drive is Mounted and can't repair until unmounted...

When I shut my OSX 10.3.5 it will not shut down properly, a blue screen appears with the power button logo in the middle with the message (in multiple languages) "please restart your mac holding down the power button". This is very annoying as I cannot scheduale a shut down now.... pleae...

Please can anyone suggest a good, cheap, fast, compatible dvdr drive for my G4 OSX 1.25G
