Hi
I have a G4 power pc dual 867 that has been fine for several years.
Recently I've had trouble booting up. I have bought and installed a new battery
but still have problems. I have a partitioned drive running OS 9 on one side and Tiger on the other.
If I try to boot Tiger I've been getting a grey screen with no windmill.
If I boot with COM+OPT+P+R it will boot into OS9 no problem.
I have run the OSX install disk, repaired permissions, repaired disk.
It won't boot using COM+S or SHIFT either.
I trashed preferences and caches.
I have managed to get it to boot once or twice in the last week and use it but then the next time it won't.
Could it be the drive? Should I wipe and reinstall the OSX?
Thanks
