Stopped working ... system is OS X jaguar 10.2.8, G-3, 450 MHz, 512 ram.
After MANY a battle, I finally have other components working, but whenever I attempt to install ANYTHING, the installer SKIPS to "Choose Destination" step, and then stops functioning at all.
The CD drive still will not yet respond correctly when I restart while holding down the "C" key ...
I (intuitively?) feel the installer needs repair, but how?
As always, Thank You to ALL

Try the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.0.4 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If after the above your problem still exists, then reforma and reinstall OS X.
