So recently I have been having some problems with my Power Mac G4 Sawtooth, here they are (in no particular order):

1) When I hold down the option button to select which volume to boot off of, it loads I select the HD that I want and I click the load arrow. But instead of booting it just reloads the list and it will do that each time I click the arrow, it only does that with the OS 9 volume.

2)When I use Disk Warrior to try and repair the OS 9 volume it will get through part of it but then it gives me a -36 error (I/O error).

3) it will randomly Hard Freeze when its booted in OS 9.

all of this is leading me to believe the HD is failing, but if you know different please let me know
