It is a long time ago, but I have a similar problem. My iMac shows a blue folder with the finder logo alternated by a question mark. I've tried to put in disks to boot from, but no matter what I do, it keeps spitting them out and coming back to the blue folder. What should I do? Thank you.

Your hard drive cannot find an appropriate OS. Let's start here: go to this kink and identify exactly which machine you have:
https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup...
UPDATE
I believe this is your machine:
https://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/...
Pre-Installed MacOS: 8.6 Maximum MacOS: X 10.4.11
Do you have original installation disks?
Do you have retail system version disks?
Are your disks machine specific grey disks?
UPDATE 5/29/18
If you do not have the system software. you can find it on eBay by searching for
Apple Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger - Full Version for Mac
Here's one https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Mac-OS-X-...

Could you be more specific, that link takes me to all the iMacs ever made ;-)
Oops, wrong link! This is what it says: Apple iMac G3/400 DV SE (Slot Loading)
Identifiers: Slot Loading DV SE - M7668LL/A - PowerMac2,1 - M5521 - 1821
Part no: M7668N/A
Thank you for your help!
I unfortunately don't have disks. Is there a way that I can download software myself? Or a way I can obtain the disks?
Thank you for your help!
