I had a hard drive fail. I got a new hard drive, and confirmed that it would work properly with a MAC. However, I never get past the folder prompt when I boot up the machine. I have the OS on the boot CD, but it isn't making any difference.
Any ideas??
Hi.
Make sure you're pressing the C key when you reboot the machine until the Apple logo displays.
Hey. Thanks, it isn't even looking at the CD, so I never get a chance to go to disk utilities. I get system dump info on the screen with the last line stating "Panic: we are hanging here...". The apple shows up right before the system dump.
I am using the OS X Tiger dvd for the install.
Any thoughts?
I reset the SMU and PRAM according to files listed above. It has made no difference.
Power Mac G5
Nothing is helping and the Kernel dump is the same as always, as far as I can tell.
I get the flashing folder icon when I don't use the install DVD, but otherwise it is Kernel Dump time.
Please, any suggestions?
I can't reload my OS on my G5. (PPC)
