Re: a1076 Boot Up Error
Not necessarily. A HDD doesn¹t always completely fail and render itself undetectable.

I bought an iMac a1076 a few months aop for my girlfriend and one day it didn't want to turn on anymore. Whenever I try to turn on the imac it just tells me to turn off the computer and let it restart. I think it might be a bad hard drive but I want to hear what you guys have to say. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: a1076 Boot Up Error
Hm. Do you have recovery disks or any kind of installation media? If so, you can check the SMART status of the drive, and if it is OK, you can attempt to reinstall OS X. If SMART reports drive errors, replace the HDD. If a reinstall does not work, I would guess the HDD or possibly the RAM. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Playing video on a slot-loading iMac G3
This is a guess and a poor one at that. IIRC it checks for a DVD drive and it doesn't have to be internal. You should be able to do it with a USB DVD drive. You could also use an OS X compatible IDE to USB adapter and use the control board on the adapter. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: iMac 20 Intel Performance Problems
You need to archive and install OS X again.

Re: Leopard
10.2 is slow. Panther and Tiger are a lot better. As far as I know there isn't. Even if there was it would be so dreadfully slow you would want to throw it out the window. OS 10.2 felt slow on my 400 MHz iMac with a gig of ram, so I'm sure Leopard would be worse. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Leopard
Thanks, Do you think a custom kernel would get it to boot? If I remember right there is a custom kernel for the G3. There are 4 400MHz G3 iMacs 3 have Firewire ports If you have a F/W port then make a Carbon Copy Clone of the 10.5 system and use Target Disk Mode with a Fire Wire cable to transfer the cloned file to the G3, Good luck getting it to boot. -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

Re: Leopard
It currently runs Tiger. I have ran Leopard on a 400mhz G4 it is just removing the need for AltiVec at this point.

Either way, these are the MINIMUM requirements for Leopard, and your G3 would require a complete overhaul just to run it at its minimum.
