[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 132957, member: 2960"] Assuming this is one of the later G3 iMacs, there should be a 'reset' button on the input ports panel. Press and hold that for about 10 seconds, then release it. Then insert your OS 8.5 disk and try booting from it again. Be sure to hold down the "C" key until you see a desktop. If you are imediately getting the "?" folder, then there is likely something wrong with your install disk. Try doing this with each of your install disks (OS 9 and OS X). If these are all retail versions and not copies, they should boot while holding down the "C" key. If none of them boot up, and you only see the "?" mark, there is likely something more involved at play here. [/QUOTE]
