(1) how does it freeze your mac ?
Can you "force to quit "LW and continue to play with your machine ?

It is completely frozen for 5 to 10 minutes

(2) Do you have no message but still forced to manually reboot the machine (power off then power on) ?

no.

(3) about the "special sound"

It is coming out of the mac itself. Like the hard drive is about to blow.

I am using a g4 with os x (10.3.9) jaguar
I have two 450 gig external hard drives.
I don't have much space left on G4 System.
Only 3.5 gigs left. Could that be the problem?
And I moved my shared folder to G4 Storage.
Could my firewall settings cause it?


thanks
