Check the disks that came with your iBook. The AHT might be a seperate disk. (mine was for iMac G4) I don't believe so, but doesn't hurt to look. ;) If you can't boot from install cd (and cd is ok) it may be a hardware problem. Were you able to boot in safe mode? You mentioned trying fsck...

Have you tried the "erase and install" option?

Which iMac G3 are you using and what OS are/were you using?
