can anyone help me with this... please!

my G4 12" OSX1.3.9 stalls at the start up on " Login Window starting"

i have tried the following -

i have started in safe mode - nothing happened, still stalled
since then, i did the PRAM, also started using Single User Mode and Verbose as well as FSCK. At first it said that all was ok but it still stalled.

So I tried to reboot it using the discs of 10.4.2 as those were the only ones i had access to.

it still stalls

now when i try to fsck it, it tells me that the "volume is read only"

i have done all according to the advice offered on Apple Support webpage.

Before all of this began, I had problems with entourage giving me the error 4362 and 4363. i did several repairs and everything was fine. then i shut down and when went to bed. when i started up, it simply froze at the login window.

could somebody please help me with this.

thanks in advance!!!
