Could be a bad install, need a new HD, bad RAM, or a conflict with some of the PCI cards. What cards are installed, what RAM, Try an HD from another machine and see if it works from it. Do a 'super PRAM reset". Pull the battery out, pull the power cord and hold the CUDA down for 30 seconds. Unless the CD-ROM has been replaced, the OEM CD-ROM drives will not boot from a stock OS CD. You have to use a special driver or have the UMAX restore CD in order to boot from a CD. This has been gone over MANY times. Check the list archives.

Most of these machines came with the IMS (aka IXMicro) TwinTubro cards. What card are you using right now? -Robyn -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
