I have an iMac G3 Os X 10.2.8 Jaguar. It has a broken cd drive, and I tried going into mac os 9 mode to see if the problem was with the hard drive. After switching to classic, I restarted because the computer froze (pretty sure it was because of the switch). But besides that point, I wasn't even able to start the computer back up when it restarted. All I got was a blank screen with a flashing question mark/ finder logo. I tried going into open firmware and did "reset-nvram", and then "reset-all", and also "set-defaults" hoping it would switch me back to os x, and it just goes back into that blank screen. I'm new to all of this, and I've been researching at the library when I've had days off from work for commands I could possibly enter to reset my computer back to it's original os x. Without having to use the cd drive (because it's broken). But even if the cd drive worked, I don't have the installation cd. So alas, I am in a pickle. Please help me.
