[QUOTE="udabney, post: 1162645, member: 184448"] I know, I know you are probably thinking if I'm having trouble with a PowerMac G4, then you would suggest burning it and throwing it away. However, this was my first mac and I can't put it down yet. I had not experienced many problems with my 16 year computer until recently. The last operating system that was installed was Tiger. Currently when I start the computer up I get the awful folder with a blinking question mark:Angry: Can you please assist me in possibly recovering my mac? Someone mentioned purchasing Disk Warrior, but I didn't want to purchase something if it wasn't going to cure my problem. By the way, I consider myself to be an intermediate mac user so please don't go too technical on me :) [/QUOTE]
