Are u sure the disk is bootable... did u rec. a disk image?
Also how does the mac get 1.38gb ram -?
I am beginning to think you might start by backing up and looking
toward a new system.
Heres what I would recommend.
Boot with Tiger os disc and see if there are not any unrepairable
errors.

Has anyone gotten OverDrive to work; in overcoming the 128Gb limit ?
I installed it on the wife's G4 Dual 500 and it makes on difference.
When i go to find update, I get file not found.

tried in other computers. It has 1.38GB ram becasue: 512MB + 512MB + 256 +
128. Why would I want to get a new os? The system profiler doesn't see the
