ok wow this sounds like a similar problem to mine.... BASICALLY I tried to update a powerbook G4 from 10.2 to 10.3.9 and basically I put in my Panther disk and everything....during the installation...around at 18 percent it said disk error and didn't move for maybe 10 minutes so I finally jus held the power button to start over and now It wont get past the very first screen where its grey with the apple logo and the timer thing keeps on ticking around an around. I TRIED TO GO INTO SAFE MODE....and right as I hold shift it says that "you need to restart your compter. HOold down the power button bla bla bla" (it says it in like 3 or 4 other languages so I know if ur a mac user you've seen it. SOOOO now what??
