Listers, Thanks, again, to all who offered advice both on and off list.
As suggested, I took the harddrive out and booted from a CD. Got a happy Mac and desktop. Looked good! Maybe the drive is bad. Shutdown, reconnected the harddrive, and rebooted from the CD. Everything works, and I can see the drive. Techtool found nothing wrong with the drive. So, we are back in business, and at least the machine has a new battery. I can only think that the drive had a bad connection that was fixed in the process. BTW, I was ready to swap out the power supply. However, I'm not sure how it comes out. Do I have to drill out the 4 rivets on the bottom to remove PS? Please advise. Again, thanks to all for your help. Bob -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
