[QUOTE="steelers, post: 1137805, member: 178448"] [b]G5[/b] Thanks dtravis 7... Of late, the fan on my Original G5 (not intel) has been going turbo... fan sounds like jet and won't wake (used to be every other month and accelerated to almost every other day). reset smu everytime. It went turbo again last night. removed back panel and gently blew dust out this morning with compressed air. reassembled and got a question mark/folder flashing for my trouble when booted. inserted 10.5 install disk to fix/reinstall and there is no hard drive (apple article TS1440) just the DVD tried pressing "option" while restarting and got "reload" arrow and "right" arrow and spinning wrist watch. It does see my external HD when it boots from disk. Any help is definitely appreciated. [/QUOTE]
