I am on an iMac G4 running OS 10.4. When I boot the machine it loads my desktop, then proceeds to start Classic Mode. It won't actually run Classic Mode all the way up. I can't get into the System Prefs at all. It just doesn't respond to anything.
I tried booting from the Install Disk (hold "c" while booting, right?) But it doesn't help. I have a new MacBook so I can boot the iMac in Target disk mode to view the system files.
Can anyone help me figure out what's the problem or how to fix it. I guess I can always back up the docs and reinstall.
By the way, what's the easiest way to reformat the HD and reinstall OS X?
