Re: Mac start-up help

OK, I'll try to help anyway...
- Read: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393
- Look at related pages linked from that one
- Start up with shift key held down (safe mode)
- Start up with the installer CD and run Disk Utility


Good luck... I have a G3 PowerBook that runs 24x7 all the time.

Umm... it's an Apple PowerMac1, 1 1. 1f4 Version OSX :)

When I boot it, it says:

OpenFirmware 3.1.1 (to continue booting, type "mac-boot", to shut down,

type, "shut-down")
When I type in mac-boot, a gray screen comes up and a folder with the
mac logo keeps switching from that to, "?"
Then the other gray screen comes up and the wheel keeps spinning.

I'm glad to know it's not the 24/7 problem that's causing it to be so
disobedient! And thank you very much, I'll check that link now :)
