As far as I know, none of the tools I used changed the disk at all.

Now that I looked at it and found out what it's for, the companion
utility to Testdisk - Photorec - looks more promising for what I'm
trying to do. It finds deleted files, rather than deleted partitions.
There's a version for Mac, Windows, and Linux. And it's free.

Newbie G4 Dual 1.25 FW 400 OS9 Boot Problem

brn_rch...@yahoo.com (Brian Buddy) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 03:43:15 UT

I'm looking for somebody who can help me find a copy of original
software for this model.

I bought one because it would dual boot. It didn't come with original
software and the OS9 partition never worked right.

To get this thing to boot I need a copy of OS 9 that only came with
this model.

My primary interest in flash is to watch Nova on hulu.com. The site
requires an upgrade to Flash 9, which isn't available for my 64-bit
Ubuntu system. But with the Flash 9 upgrade, it seems to run ok on the
G4. It almost maxes out the CPU when I first run a show, and then
settles down to about 60% on both CPU's. It's a little jerky,

Testdisk seems more suitable for fixing partition problems, rather
than recovering a directory structure lost by formatting. The demo
versions of both File Salvage and Data Rescue have brought up a bunch
of working files. Since the disk is formatted FAT32 (but formatted on
a Mac by Disk Utility), I had tried it on a PC, but there several

At first I thought you must be talking about the machine power needed
to develop Flash, but it looks like you're just talking about running
the Flash stuff that shows up on the Internet. I use Flashblock on
Firefox out of self-defense. So much bloated Flash crap could be done
instead with modestly sized animated GIF's. Oh, but that would be so

Which G4? Tower? Powerbook? Ibook?

On all G4 Towers except the PCI graphics, 1 beep at startup means that
either there's no RAM installed or no RAM can be detected.

Swapped RAM with "Known good" RAM ? Could be RAM slots not functioning, RAM
not seated properly, dirty connections?

If you could provide a little more information we'd have more to go on.

I've been trusting in CCC for 2-3 years and now I'm heart sick to find
that some of my home movies have gone bye-bye. The movies "look to be"
there, but when you double click them to watch them, there is no "time
duration" all you get is "0:00" and all that's left is a "photo"
representation of the movie that used to be there. I've been backing

Single "boop" on startup

billc_li...@greenbuilder.com (Bill Christensen) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 23:52:50 UT

Hi folks,

I've got a G4 that's giving me startup problems.

I've tried replacing most everything but the motherboard, but am
currently just getting a single "boop" tone on start up. And I can't
remember what the likely problem is when that happens, as I don't
recall having that occur previously to any of my machines.
