Perhaps we should get straight what machine and what drive you're 
talking about.

Usually, the Macs described as "G3" are the PowerMac G3, the G3 
Minitower, the All-in-one G3, and the Blue-and-White G3 (see
<http://www.apple-history.com> or <http://www.mactracker.ca>). To my 
knowledge, none came with a slot drive. From your description, I'd 
guess you're really talking about an iMac SL or iMac DV SL. I'd further 
guess the drive needs to be replaced, or at least cleaned and 
lubricated by a professional; at any rate, it's not a software problem.
