I work in IT, and today I got a broke powerbook g4 placed on my desk.
Thing had been dropped.
Turns on fine.
But sits at what I think is the mac load screen(apple with a pin wheel spinning below it).
I know how to take the harddrive out(found a guide online)
However, ive never used a mac.
So how do I get to the boot menu and all that(bios type stuff).
And what will I need to do to get a new OS on the machine>? Just the discs that should have come with it>?
Basically i need a lil course on how to use mac stuff when first booting and how to get an OS on. Any built in dianostics i can run to make sure its a harddrive?
Thanks for any links or help.
