before I tell you the actual problem let me tell you what i did that led up to me experiencing the problem.

So I found some software that I wanted to put on it, but of course it doesn't have a USB port so I did what i do with computers that have no USB. I take out the hard drive and attach it to the SCSI card in my Power Mac G4 (main machine) I start up the computer and it mounts as usual and I extract and put the software on it.....end of story

Here is the problem:

I start it up again and when it gets to desktop it loads but the starts to redraw the desktop over and over and OVER again, and I am forced to restart it. Then I zap the PRAM, but no dice, it still does it. I boot from the cd and I reinstall just the system file, same thing. So the I start up the computer with no extentions. Finally it works!!! but then when I try and do something the system crashes and gives me a half a dozen errors :'(

any ideas :?:
