Have you ever been to boot from that CD? Maybe it's damaged? Or maybe your CD or DVD drive has problem? It's hard to tell, but if the Mac reboots in 9, it definitely doesn't like something with the CD, be it the media itself or the drive reading the media. Did you try inserting the CD once booted in OS X? Does it mount OK? -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "imagine the disincentive to software development if after months of work another company could come along and copy your work and market it under it's own name...without legal restraints to such copying, companies like Apple could not afford to advance the state of the art" -Bill Gates '83 -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
