The reason we want you to do this is two fold. First to see the mac
thru a successful bootup. Second so you can run disc utility on your
drive from the installer cd to attempt to repair the drive. Or simply
reinstall the os.
DON'T PANIC!

Hold down the C key to start from a bootable disc (DVD, CD)

I am reposting this because the old post I made got sidetracked
and I
could not get an answer.
I have an iMac G4 that will not boot past the folder with a
question
mark. I have tried this using 3 different HDDs and the only one
that I
can get to boot any farther is a bad HDD (it's also the only HDD
that
any of my computers will recognize). I have tried booting the
computer
using Mac OS 9, 10.1, 10.2, and Debian Linux. All stop in the
middle
of the boot.
