ibook g3/800 boot problems

[xprt44]

I picked up a used ibook g3/800 and on startup i just got the flashing mac logo/ ?. It didn't have the restore disks and I believe they were os10.2.4
I have tried a set of restore disks 10.1.4 and they loaded fine however on reboot I just get the mac smily face logo and it wont go any farther. Any suggestions?

Take it back. You also could be a cheap Jaguar install disk and reformat it.
