Hi Everyone well my iMac G5 has refused to boot today, here's the details-
Basically it appears to have no hard drive, when you turn it on you get a flashing icon on the screen after a while (I can't remember exactly what it was, maybe a question mark and I've got the Apple hardware test running at the moment)
If I boot to the Tiger disc and run disc utility it comes up only with the Tiger DVD, no Hard drive at all!
So far the quick hardware test says everything is fine, the extended test is running now.
I have done control, option, p+r on boot and got 2 chimes (Not sure what that does but the manual said to do it.
Looking like a dead hard drive but I thought i'd ask anyway see if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks for the help!!!
