[QUOTE="dave james, post: 799352, member: 85532"] Hi there am a new member and trust my thread will make sense to you. My Biege desktop G3 was stored for three years while moving to France. It runs with OP system 8.6 or rather it did !. On start up it makes the correct noise,a sort of Dongg sound which i have read is a positive,the hard drive whirs and the screen comes up with a small floppy with a question mark in, I Have read the books ,i then rebooted with the original 8.6 disk holding down C as instructed,this booted up and i had the 8.6 icon in the top right of the screen. I double clicked on this and the window opened,showing me a 1 to 4 schedule on continuing it states select a destination Disk,this i cannot do becourse ,1 there is no disc itemised and 2 the window is greyed over. Have followed all the rellevant instuctions in the Bible ! but it all comes back to the fact my Hard Drive has done a runner,The G3 is so important to me as i am a retired Pro photographer and my Drum Scanner will only operate on the G3 with the 8 to 9 operating system,any further rellevant detail will be sent immediatly should it be of assistance, Please excuse my rambling but this is so important to me , Thankyou for your time.
