[QUOTE="iBeldar, post: 468365, member: 16751"] I bought an iMac G3 today. All I know it has 384MB of RAM, its bondi blue, tray load. Had a bad HD, flashing questionmark... Replaced it with another HD. All the installers see the HD, and will "Initialize" it. Then install just fine, then won't boot up into the OS after restart. I tried OS 9.1 first, it came up, installed fine, rebooted and got a flashing question mark. Then tried OS 8.5 (original software install), and it did the same, only couldn't install internet features either. Now I wiped the HD and im using the original 8.5 software restore disk. Seems to be working, just got to install firmware updates. What would cause none of the systems to boot? [/QUOTE]
