I replaced the hard drive on a power man g4. I am trying to boot from cd or dvd with either 10.0.2 or tiger dvd disc to installt he os and I get cd images on the screen when I try to insert cd whether or not the c key is down or not. I do get the mac bong noise and then I get a repeated patter of cd's all over the screen. I have reset the p-ram and repeatedly tried to start it up. I also rechecked connections. Not sure if related but does it matter whether or not the power connector to the hard drive is connected upside down or not? the wires are too bulky to plug it in so that the number shows right side up. What do the discs on the screen mean?
