[QUOTE="btraister, post: 711212, member: 64634"] My G5 does not give the apple logo on boot. Instead the screen is black, then turns gray...after about 2 minutes it turns to a gray screen with the animated "Where is the system folder disk" icon. I have booted with techtool pro and the install CD. Disk first aid and tech tool are unable to see my hard drive. In fact they dont see anything. Booting off DVD is REALLY slow also. (slower than usual). If the hard drive is dead, so be it (there are no odd sounds), but I dont want to waste money on gear if the controller is out (like I need a new logic board for instance) [/QUOTE]
