[QUOTE="eceon, post: 11122"] strange for me at least.. i work at a university and have encountered a weird startup issue that i am experiencing with three different powermac machines. hopefully, someone here can provide some insight.. well, on all three machines there seems to be an issue with the mac powering up to the OS. first of all, they appear to startup normally (including start sound, and apple load up screen with the progress circle). but, they all load to a blank white screen now. now i have already tried resetting the pram, nvram, and the pmu. unfortunately, this leads to equally negative results. if the white screen does not appear, another alarming notice screen appears in it''s place. this other screen explains the computer cannot startup to the OS and requires me to manually reset the computer/s. so, i then tried to reinstall the operating system by starting up to the CDs provided. however, this not work since the ctrl-c boot does not work at all on all machines. the only thing i can imagine happening is that there is a hard drive failure on these macs. but, i want to make sure i have exhausted every last option before calling apple and paying for their support. please, if anyone can provide any advice or point out something i may be overlooking, let me know. i thank all of you in advance for any future assistance on this matter. :) e [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
