Help please!
I've had my G4 14 months, i put 10.2 not so long ago and its been fine. I've not added any hardware etc but this last week when i've tried to start up it just goes 'beep beep' with a grey screen. Its also been doing this from sleep mode ie not waking up and just double beeping at me...
other times after i get past the grey screen i get the folder icon with a ? flashing in it.
when i start up from the osX cd it wants to install the software - when i then access disk utility it seems to think the master h/d is empty!
i've checked all the external and internal connections, zapped the pRAM and given it a couple of doses of first aid...
nothing seems to make a difference but will start up eventually after continual rebooting...
can anyone help/have any advice? doesn't sound too good...
thanx much appreciated,
mattD
