So I got a extra iMac at work today. I believe it's the 17" model with the video camera built in. It's a G5 version.

Anyhow, so I went to boot it up, and it stays at the Apple screen forever. Longest I let it stay before restarting was a hour. No boot up.

So I put the Diskwarrior CD in the slot and held down option to attempt to boot from it.

It wouldn't boot from it either.

Anyone have any clue what is happening here?

Any help would be appreciated.

When you hold option, does the bootable disk even show up? How about holding C at boot without going to the boot source selection screen?
