Just a note - re-run fsck until it reports
Greetings Listers,
My Wife's G3 iBook 800 (dual USB) has died (as I've told her it
eventually would!), but I'm not sure how or why.
Booting it up slowly brings us to the question-mark folder-icon. I've
run the hardware check disc that came with the iBook and everything
checks out fine.

It's possible you have a bad CD drive and the hardware test routine
didn't catch it.
