My mac boots up then once i see the white bar at the top and the walpaper just loads it hangs and all i can do is make the mouse move. So how do I fix this.

Also is there an onboard OS on here like the mac classic has?

How do I scan Disk. Also can you tell me all the boot shortcuts (example: Shift does no extensions.)

To turn off system extensions when starting up ,Shift.

To rebuild the Desktop,CMD+OPTN.

To bypass startup disk when starting up, CMD+Shift+OPTN+Delete.

To startup from a CD (if attached)scsi,C key.

To Zap pram(stored in parameter RAM) ,CMD+OPTN - P+R at start up.

To force restart, CMD+CTRL+Startup Key.

the os on mac seems corrupt, disk utilities comes with system floppies, may need to reinstall,

What OS is recommended for it, that can handle a network card or atleast a modem but run well. I would love it if it can be hooked up to my high-speed.
