1) Try here.
2) What you're getting is a kernel panic. It usually means that there's a hardware problem of some sort, although sometimes it's a matter of directory issues--not usually, but sometimes. One thing you can try doing is to hold down the S key as you reboot. That will get you into single user mode. When the single user window has finished loading, ty pe in "fsck -y" (or, if you have OS 10.4, "fsck -f"), leaving the quotation marks out, and hit return. That will run a system file check routine. If you're told that something has been fixed, run the routine again, and keep doing so until you're told that the HD is OK. Then type "reboot" and hit return. That may help, or not, depending on the nature of the problem. If the problem is fixed, then you will boot into the regular desktop. If it's not fixed you'll have the same problem over again as you describe. Figuring out what hardware might be causing the problem will be hard given how you got the machine, but as a suggestion, it's often teh RAM that leads to kernel panics. If there's extra RAM that's been installed, remove it and see if that helps.
3) Any IDE drive will work.
