[QUOTE="Nixit, post: 590034, member: 47913"] Hello apple people, I have a powermac g4 that I am trying to get up and running. I am not an experienced computer guy, so please bear with me. To my knowledge, the former owner tried to use an install/upgrade disk as a restore disk and ended up erasing or misplacing the former OS. This WAS NOT the original disk that came with it. What I get on startup is the flashing ? / ppc symbol folder icon. I have tried a drive that has a g4 powerbooks 10.4. OS cloned on it, via firewire, to try and boot up w/, but no go. I've thought of buying a 10.1 OS full install disk(earlier version to what was previously installed), but don't want to waste the money on a dead end. I don't really know where to start, nor wheather this machine is even fixable.. Any opinions and or advice appreciated. [/QUOTE]
