heres the story i have an exellent working g3 266mhz, and an imac ruby 400mhz that i just bought for five dollars with no operating system. since i cant get it to boot off a cd for some reason (by holding c) i've decided to just put thehard drive from the 266mhz in it, but when i turned it on in the ruby it just shows a mac symbol then a folder with a question mark flashing, i pressed the apple symbol on the keyboard at startup and it doesnt show a hard drive in the options, please help im only going to try fixing it tonight then im throwing them both out
 
well it is saying that you removed the activity finder from the application folder well, i don't think you have the ridge disc then or the cd rom might no be working
