Can anyone help me save my iMac G3?
It was running OSX 10.1 fine. Then we switched to 10.2... Software Update ran then froze and crashed the whole thing! Now all we can ever get is the flashing finder folder/question mark thing!
I've tried many things but although when I run Disk Utility from a full OS10 install disc it "sees" the hard drive (albeit unformatted) it will not allow it to be fixed in Disk First Aid, no available buttons to press. Attempting to erase the HD and do a clean install causes it to freeze on a progress bar saying something about partition maps.
I've tried making a startup disk, using my ipod as one etc but nothing will allow me to access the HD!
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks
