G4 powerbook os x 10.3 boot issue

[frankenfurter]

hi
i have a g4 powerbook 12in,
recently i reinstalled the os and partitioned the hd with 2 partitions -
i powered on this morning to do some surfing but the system will not boot - the power comes on, the grey apple screen shows up with the small circle of lines that go round and round at the bottom of the screen, but that's as far as it gets,
i put the installation disk in to see if it would boot from there but it will not
any ideas ??

You can't even boot into the DVD / CD drive holding "c"?
Try to reset the PRAM.
Good luck!
