Hello good people,
I have a G4 tower, 512MB RAM, 800 MHz processor, OS X 10.2.4, 40 gigs harddrive. I think it may be "kernel panic" which I read about in previous posts with similar error messages. Halfway thru restarting I get a "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power Button for several seconds or press the restart button", with what non-english alphabets at the bottom. Again and again I try and get the same message. I have a MOTU Fastlane Midi USB interface and a firewire cable for a camcorder connected to my machine(camcorder is unplugged from cable). I don't know where or how to begin to resolve this problem as I can not even get the machine started. I would appreciate some advice to nudge me in the right direction without risking the loss of data on my harddrive. Thanks in advance.

You can, mind that everything will be erased on it!
extract the HD from the iMac set its jumper to "slave" at its back (it should be explained on it, at worse find the tech data on the HD manufacturer site) if it is to be plugged on the same cable as the drive to back up. Connect it into the G4 (power and IDE cable: the plug is the one left on the same cable as the original HD) Follow the instruction already given to enforce install of OSX on this drive. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
