[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1155137, member: 42497"] If you are pressing the on.off button with the disc in the optical drive, hold down 'C' immediately after the chime and it should open up the Installer page where you can go into Utilities and erase and format the drive. If this is not working sounds like the optical drive has failed and it is not worth spending any money on a G3 as really they are like the dinosaur age. Also it is a tough job replacing the optical and hard drives. [/QUOTE]
