Hello, I tried installing a Seagate external hard drive on my Power Mac G4. After installing the driver, my machine froze. I shut it down by powering off. When I powered it back on the Tone played, the Gray Screen came on, The Apple Icon appeared and then a small Black Rectangle Box appeared above the icon and nothing else happens.
I tried to start up with the install disc and holding the C Key but the same thing happens. I tried starting it and held the startup button longer. A different tone came on, a noise that sounds like the fan came on, a Gray Screen comes on with printing on it giving me the machine specs, build date etc and a prompt to continue startup to enter "mac-boot". when I do that the earlier gray screen, icon and black rectangle reappears and nothing happens.
Can this be fixed or is the machine fried? Please help. Thanks
