[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 799422, member: 56231"] PM - Private Message. Click my forum name, and look for the PM link. Meantime, Re HD - open up your G3. Press upward the two plastic lugs beneath the CD and floppy drive bays, and then smartly pull the top half of the casing toward you. Then you need to lift the hinged section of the innards and prop it with the plastic leg. Thereafter you can get at things like the HD, the RAM, and so on. Incidentally, your G3 will operate better with maximum RAM - which is 768 Mb, in 3 x 256 configuration. Once a new HD is installed, go through the boot from CD routine that you tried in the initial stages. If it doesn't allow you to install a fresh OS, you may need to take the bare drive out again and take it a Mac tech, along with your OS install CD. [/QUOTE]
