[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 699385, member: 56231"] This advice is from memory and may be subject to correction (unfortunately I don't have the facilities with me to verify these instructions): Insert Disk 1 of your 2 or 3 original Apple disks. Reboot your computer holding down the C key as soon as you hear the startup sound. Your computer should then boot from the dvd. Once the computer is operating again, Ignore the Installation prompts and go to the Installer Menu (top left). Choose Utilities (or Disk Utilities). From there, choose (I think) Hardware Test (or similar). I will check my own setup here once I've got my disks and will edit my post if necessary. [/QUOTE]
