Hi. I have a six year old PowerBook G3. (I think it's an original, but the serial numbers are rubbed off) I recently installed OS 10.1.3 and it worked fine. But then I restarted, and it gave me a little floppy disk with a flashing quetion mark. Whats happening? I reinstalled twice again, and it did the same thing. Even if it was an original PowerBook G3 (which Apple says you can't nstall OS X on) it wouldn't do what its doing now, because It worked and everything!!

Hey stwain2003

Don't know if this will help, but try looking in System Preferences and Startup Disk, Highlight the 10.whatever Drive.

If you have to just insert the first CD and boot with that and check the drive...


Good Luck!!!
