I have a PowerMac 4,2 and it won't start up for me It goes to a black and white screen and has the words panic,and unable to find driver
for this platform. Does anybody know what that means,and what do I have to do to fix it. Thank you and have a great day Dale
PowerMac
It means you have likely installed something for Intel Macs that runs at startup that won't work with that Mac. If you moved a hard drive with Mac OS X 10.6 or later on it to the Powermac, that would cause such a problem. If you connected a hard drive with 10.6 or later on it on it that was running Target Disk Mode (booting the Intel machine holding the T key) to it, that would cause such a problem. If you attempted to install 10.4.4 or later system specific disc on a hard drive that was designed for an Intel Mac, and moved it to that machine, that would cause such a problem. If you attempted to install a GUID formatted partition hard drive as opposed to Apple partition map on the machine, that could cause such a problem.
Try a safe boot.
Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
is being checked.
Does anybody know what the phrase can't find driver mean?
