I recently bought a Power Macintosh G3 all in one at a yard sale. I installed Mac OS 9.1. It was working fine so I shut it down. Then later I turn it back on, and it shows the floppy with ? in the middle. I put in the install disk, and the hard drive icon doesn't show. I don't know what happened to it. If anyone can tell me how to fix this problem, please respond.

IGNORE THIS POST! I fixed problem. No help needed
what was wrong with it and what did you do to fix it???
I really don't think it's fixed, I think the battery that keeps the clock and other stuff running is dead and I need to replace it.
The battery you need is available from your local RadioShack. Pop the old one out, and bring it with you.
make shure they give you the 3.6v one and not the 3.0v one
also http://resale.headgap.com/ sell's them for $6.88 shipped if you got a CC
i think there is a more higher volt ones out there but i am not for sure.
they are around $15-16 USD at radioshack
I created a custom battery pack. Grabbed a x2 double A battery holder and hooked it up to the original battery socket. Works fine.
