Hi,
Thanks, but nothing happens when I boot with the OS CD ('Install Me
First CD') in the cd drive. I just keep getting the flashing question
mark. When I boot with a floppy that has a picture of an Ambulance on
the side, I get a "Welcome to Macintosh" message on the screen but
that's as far as it gets because it always hangs there.Sorry if what I
say sound silly but I am just taking my first steps into the world of
Mac.On 23/12/05, Chuck Bush <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It certainly could be the hard drive, but it is not necessarily. The > question mark means the system simply cannot find a start up system.
