The OP problem is definitely NOT an HDD failure. Even if the HDD was toast, the Mac would not shutdown: it would say "I can't find any boot disk" - or something like that. And if the HDD was corrupted, the Mac would show the folder icon with a flashing question mark (meaning "Cannot find a valid system to boot"). > You could, if you have one, boot from an additional HDD with Mac OS X > installed. This is unlikely to work (since the issue seems hardware-related), 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.
