by qntm7 . Updated 20 years, 2 months ago

hi ,,a friends g4 powerbook was unplugged while deleting a large amount of files.
now the system boots to a screen saying holddown the powerbutton to restart and it will keep booting back to this grey screen,the screen has several different languages and 12 FF:FFs sepeprated by colons.i have tryed to boot to single user/verbose i get the screen but it wont except commands,just has a message sayin ,,were hangn here,the only access i have is by holding command control +o+f , this brings me to a grey screen which will except commands so is there any way i can fix it at this point,ps,,, it wont boot to safe mode,and i dont have any installation discs,so is there any command lines to open it up.thanks in advance [color:orange]

ps i have been to the apple website and have tryed all of there kernel panic thrublshooters as i said above no safe mode no verbose/single user mode,dont have a start disc,or an operating system disc,,,is there a download mayb from the net that would repair the software already on the g4,,,,thanks in advance
