[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 320132"] Ok so it's the flat-panel model, not a G3 at all. Well this kinda changes things then... This iMac does have a FireWire port so you could use [I]target mode[/I] on it from your other Mac. [B][I]Edited to add:[/I][/B] In case you haven't any idea of what is [I]target disk mode[/I], just follow these instructions: [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583"][B]How to use FireWire target disk mode[/B][/URL]. From your newer Mac you could re-install Panther on the flat-panel iMac. Maybe the music CD had some kind of copy protection on it that messed up the iMac G4... or it was just something else that coincided with the music CD. [/QUOTE]
