Q: IBook G4 Problem with boot up after I used Target mode.

I have an old G4 Ibook that was being used without a problem.  I decided to check the computer for any type of malware, since its OS was not advanced enough I put the computer into target mode and checked it via my Mac Mini and AVG for the Mac.  It did find files that I deleted from the hard drive.  The location of the Malware didn't pose any problem to the OS.  When I tried to reboot the computer it would not. 

 

I thought that during the boot cycle if I held down cmd and S it would start in safe mode but i was wrong.   I then tried alt-cmd and p r   all together during boot waited for the second chimes then released them.  That was supposed to reboot the computer.  That still didn't work. 

 

Can anyone help?  I can't give you the full specs as I don't remember them. 

 

Thanks for the assistance.

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
