Got an iMac G4 700mhz, 512 ram, 40gig HDD. Problem is, after attempting to install updates, if froze during installation and had to do a hard shut down. After that, I got a gray screen and loading indicator. I seemed to have fixed it by resetting the pram and nvram and the firmware thing. So, I decided to do a clean install but during the install It said there were errors and could not install. So I thought I would restart and try again. Upon restart, it ended up on a gray screen with a folder icon and a question mark. So, I did all the fixes that are supposed to fix this but no luck. I was able to boot into single mode and restart to the install disk, thought I was on to something but the part of installation that asks for destination to install, there is nothing there. So, I ran disk utility from the disk and the drive is fine. I then erased the drive to try again but the same result, no destination volume. I know the drive is not dead, I even installed the drive in my PC, and it was fine there. I have another iMac G4 700mhz with the same drive, I popped that one thinking it must be something else and it booted up fine. So, the hard drive is fine, the logic board is fine what else could I do? Here are some screen shots.
