Hi,
This is my first ever post on here so I would just like to say a huge thanks in advance to anyone who will be able to help me
About a month ago I was running some standard updates on my G5, Tiger running Mac and restarted it so that the updates could be applied but when it came back on it would not boot into the OS. It does all the regular start up stuff but when it gets to the screen with the loading status bar on it gets all the way to the end to say it loaded but then wont start up into the OS and its been doing that ever since. I have left it to try to boot for literally hours at a time but with no joy.
I have tried to do a reinstall/repair on it but when I put my Tiger disc into the drive it does not recognise the disc when it is starting up and if I try to hold down the C button when restarting, the cd drive kicks in but after a few seconds tells me that the machine needs to be restarted and then goes on to do exactly the same thing.
Any advice would be really gratefully appreciated!
