I have a g4 ibook running OSX (Panther). After installing Norton System Works my system started running slow. I tried to remove the program, but when I tried to access my applications to do so everything kept freezing up. I restarted w/ the OS disk and ran Disk Utility. It was slow going, so I left it alone for a while and when I came back to check on it my screen was black. I thought it was on standby, but it wouldn't come back up (I even tried closing the top and reopening it but it did no good) so I powered it off by holding down the power key. I restarted and decided to do a fresh install of the OS, but when I get to the stage of choosing a volume to intall it the hard drive doesn't show up. I tried running Disk Utility again but the hard drive doesn't show up there either. Am I just screwed or is there anything I can do? Any advice would be appeciated.
