SOLVED PowerMac G4 Boot issues

Something weird happened when I turned file sharing on, now it won't even boot into os 10.5. Gonna have to reinstall it and start fresh I guess

When you say it doesn’t boot, what exactly are you seeing when you turn on your iMac?

It shows the apple icon, but the spinner doesn't show up underneath and it's just stuck at that point

Also, I have a partition in which I was booting into sorbet leopard and messing around as well. Could have something to do with it.
