Hi, If you have a Western Digital Hard Drive inside in that iMac, that problem will arise. There is an issue with certain firmware versioins on the slot loader iMac G3s that would conflict with 6-80gb Western Digital Caviar HDs. Has this hard drive been replaced at any time? You may want to look at a Seagate or something to replace it with. Its not a fixable though. However, the Harddrive hasn't gone bad, its just a bug with SMART, and in any other computer it will work fine.
