[QUOTE="briona, post: 153772"] Hi, I am not too familiar with Macs, but need to reinstall the OS on a mac for a client of mine. -I have a power Mac G4, and I have the CD for Power Mac G4 OS 10.0.4 software install CD. -The hard drive on the Mac is empty, no OS or anything. I don't think it is even partitioned. The problem is, I can't get the Mac to boot from the CD. -with no CD, the Mac indicates there is now OS to boot to. -With the CD ( do hold down the 'c' key) I do get a smiling Mac and a CD in the upper left corner, but it never goes any further. -I also tried clearing teh PRAM & NVRAM any suggestions?
