[G4] Help for my G4

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings John,

Have you tried starting up while holding down the "Shift Key?"
When you hold down the shift key during start-up causes the system to  
run "fsck" which will clean up problems on the disk. What you may want  
to do is start up holding down the shift key a couple or three time in  
a row, as the first time may reveal other problems which will be  
refitted on the second or third fsck.

Cheers

Harry
