I just bought a 667 Powerbook off my friend.
I went to install 10.3 on it, and everything worked fine. I did a Clear Install so all the information was deleted. When I go to bootup - it takes FOREVER to start. We're taking a good 30 minutes.
It just sits at the white screen with the apple logo. The circle is spinning - but nothing seems to be happening.
I tried going into verbose mode, and everything seemed to load correctly - just slow.
Any ideas?

So it does boot up properly after a 30-minute wait each time? Odd.
Is the proper "Startup Disk" selected in System Preferences?
You may want to try re-installing the OS again from scratch if this continues...

Yes, everytime it boots up - 30 minutes. I tried reinstalling 10.3, same thing.
Is there a free version of Disk Warrior? Thanks.

No, some things are just worth paying for and DW is one of those things...

How much memory is on the PowerBook? If it has a minimum configuration, that could be part of your problem.

My iMac took a couple of minutes to boot up until the firm ware on the airport card was updated now it zips along in about 20 seconds from off to desktop.
