[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 916624, member: 56379"] The "?" icon as D3v1L80Y pointed out...means that there is no OS installed on the computer. So you need to install the OS...if you don't have OS install disks, then you need to purchase them. As far as the hard drive being no good...are you sure...if so a bad hard drive will also cause the same "?" icon to show up. Thus you will need a new or used working hard drive + OS install disks. By the way...depending on what model PowerMac G4 you have, it may not be able to address a hard drive larger than 128 gig. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
