[QUOTE="LondonMike, post: 977111, member: 139328"] 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 [/QUOTE]
