hi jimi
there are various disk utilitys for the mac including Drive Genius 1.5.3 (http://www.prosofteng.com/products/drive_genius_info.php?PHPSESSID=3ab78bafb4a49fea2aa2b5b8315a46db) and TechTool Pro 4.5.3 (http://www.micromat.com/)
another excellent utility is called "AppleJack 1.4.3 " from http://applejack.sourceforge.net/,AppleJack is a user friendly troubleshooting assistant for Mac OS X. With AppleJack you can troubleshoot a computer even if you can't load the GUI, or don't have a startup CD handy. AppleJack runs in Single User Mode and is menu-based for ease of use.
This is a shell script for cleaning up the mess left by system crashes: disk directory errors, buggy caches, corrupted preferences, etc. It is designed to be run only in single user mode. Running this script while logged in as a user can crash your OS (especially if you use it to delete the system's virtual memory or cache files), which would be more than a little bit counterproductive.
hope this helps
good luck jimi !

If you saved anything important, which I'm sure you did, use the disk utility on the install disk to repartition the hard drive and reformat it. About 2/3 of those G4s have gone bad by now, so don't waste a lot of time on it.
