[QUOTE="BigMacAttack!, post: 767415, member: 76754"] [b]iMac G4 Help[/b] Thanks for your reply...I want to pull my hair out right about now! I got the Cd out of what looks like the original Cd Pkg that came with it. The Cd is "Mac OS X v10.2" white in colour, with a large leopard (edit: I guess it's a Jaguar - sorry I didn't notice the difference in animal print-sorry my mistake.) spotted X on it. Did it come with this one or should I be looking for a restore type of Cd? I got this iMac G4 from my brother who's employee used this machine. He can't help me, either, so I'd really appreciate any help I can get! Here's what I've tried...I held down the on/off for 5 secs...then started it up again. It says "installation in progress" or something like that, then it freezes and stays that way. So I manually opened up the tray and took that Cd out. It then had a picture of a folder with a flashing question mark on the screen. So now what do I do? (I'm probably amusing at least a few of you out there...I feel so helpless...like I'm writing an exam in a foreign language that I barely speak about a topic I know very little about...) [/QUOTE]
