[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1391393, member: 46727"] Several things: The optical drive on that machine could be defective. (won't read disks) You could try with an external drive but it must be firewire as that machine can not boot from USB. The boot disk you're using is probably model specific and won't work with that G3. You would need a retail version of OS X. Probably Panther or Tiger. Never use a wireless keyboard when trouble shooting. Use a USB connected keyboard instead. Windows keyboards will work OK. [/QUOTE]
