The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Reformat and reload a G4

Asked by Wafu in Apple Operating Systems

Tags: , , ,

I have a G4 which for reasons I can't go into requires a complete trash and reload before it can be given to a new user. As a windows bod I have no idea where to start this process and haven't got time to wade through forum after forum looking for a "how to" and seeing as we pay for E-Exchange .....well........ok I feel dumb for not knowing too but there we go. Anyways I know it used to be a dual booting 0S9 ans OSX.2xx . I have no system disks thanks to a shoddy predecessor and other than the fact it's a  Power Mac G4 I know nothing else about it. Do I have to repurchase the OS from Mac?

Any advice accepted greatfully (and 500 points)

Please forgive the lack of info but I really am a Mac iliterate, Windows using fool ;) but ripe for conversion.Start Free Trial
