[X Newbies] blue screen infinity

[John Lowther]

I restarted off the OSX CD, and when I went into Disk Utility, the only 
choice I had in drive to check for errors was the OSX CD-- there was no 
option for 'G3.'  Then, I restarted in single-user mode; the prompt I 
got, instead of localhost#, was sh-2.05a#.  I typed in pwd, and the 
response told me it was working off the drive.  I restarted using the 
DiskWarrior CD, and the only directory it provided me with was 
DiskWarrior CD-- there was no option for 'G3.'  I restarted with the 
OS9 CD, and the only directory provided in Disk Utility was OS9 CD-- 
there was no option for 'G3.'  I tried a reinstallation of OS9, but 
there was no drive to install the software onto.

It's no longer recognizing a hard drive called 'G3' or any other.
