[QUOTE="uninc, post: 414097, member: 32579"] Hello everyone! First off I am completely new to Macs. I have spent a totally of maybe 5 mins. on a Mac. I recently picked up a PowerMac G4(PCI/Yikes! version I think). It didnt have a harddrive in it when I got. I put a 40g harddrive in it and downloaded a couple OS 9 programs using torrent sites. So far I havent had any luck getting any of these OS's to boot up. I have tried holding "c" during start up but no luck, I just keep getting a box with a ? mark and something else (2 faces?) flashing back and forward. I tried burning the OS as .iso and .dmb files still no luck. I also tried a OS 8 install file. Could someone help point me in the right direction, so I can get this bad boy working and see with this Apple stuff is all about? [/QUOTE]
