Try just disconnecting the HD. If it's the HD you should get the flashing question mark. If it does then stick in the boot DVD-ROM and see if it comes up okay. Try pulling the PRAM battery. I don't know if the G5 will boot this way but it's worth a shot. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
