Since you did re-install a few times, I'm guessing that your valuable data
has, hopefully, already been backed up on another disk or partition (here a
good reason to partition a disk before installing OS X...).
It sounds as if your hard disk has serious problems. Try erasing the
partition in Disk Utility, from the Panther installation CD. If you can, it
would be even better to reformat the entire disk.
Then, install 10.3. Try to reboot. If you can boot, run Disk Utility from
the 10.3 installation and repair permissions on the OS X disk/partition.
Then, go to Software Update and get the 10.3.4 updater. Install it and see
if it works. I'm really suspecting that your hard drive is causing those
problems. What hard disk do you have, BTW?
Yes I have good backups. I have wiped and reformatted twice this year, I think the next time I go through all that it will be on a new drive. I am still using the original 10G drive I think it's a Toshiba. Got any suggestions on a good one? I don't need a huge one for my purposes. Thanks for your input. Verizon seems to be having problems getting email through, I could not access it at all last night.
