I wish it did have a "System Folder". A search of the drive found zero items with or containing that name.
Laurent Daudelin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> opined: "I thought that, in any case, you can install 9 after installing X" If that is correct, if I do a "Clean Install" of OS 9.2.2, will that erase or inactivate or overwrite the installation of OS X 10.3.8?

When I get to the screen which asks to choose a disk to install the OS on, the iBook's HD is not selectable. The message is: "This version of Mac OS 9.2.1 may not be installed over the system software on the currently selected volume. Press the "Options. . . " button to perform a clean installation." When I press the Options. . . button, I'm told: "Perform Clean Installation. Installs a completely new System Jolder that does not include your third-party extensions, control panels, or fornts. System software and application preferences are reset to their original settings." This message gives me NO indication of whether this installation will wipe out the installed version of OS X 10.3.8. What do you recommend I do here? Just a shot in the dark but maybe the OS 9 driver wasn't installed when the disk was originally erased. Not sure how to test this, though, but I thought that, in any case, you can install 9 after installing X. If the driver is really missing, that would mean starting over, erasing, installing 9, then 10. Are you sure there isn't a "System Folder" on the disk? -Laurent. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
