Can you help with an Ibook g3 spinning beach ball of death?

The Macbook's Hard Drive probably failed. Shut the system down and remove the system CD. Reset the PRAM and the SMC. Then insert the bootable Mac OS Cd and boot from it. Use the disk utility once the system comes up to check the disk. It will look like it wants to install the OS again, but just click continue until you see the toolbar up at the top and click TOOLS and Disk Utility. You Should see you HDD in the list, click it and hit repair disk. If that does not fix the problem or you get an error, the HDD (Hard Drive Disk) has failed. Go tot he Apple Store and have them replace the drive, or do it your self cheaper.

You can either reinstall the operating system if you have the Install systems disk or you can download a free more secure operating systems like FreeBSD, PC-BSD, NetBSD or you can go for Linux, Gentoo, all these free alternative Operating Systems are secure fast and stable with all the application software you'll ever need,
