AirPort is off.

I'm wondering if it is RAM, besides the hard drive. the machine only has 768mb of RAM and not a full Gig.

I forgot to answer - it boots from the CD/DVD just fine, it's booting from the hard drive that is the problem. Considering that the machine is from 2004; the hard drive is over 11 years old.

Q: Is there any low-level formatting for the Mac PPC? I know there is plenty for the PC/Windows but I would like not to open the PB and pull the drive to put into PC and low-level format it. It's too much work for one drive.
