Here's something curious I don't get. I'm trying to install OS 10.1.4 on my G3 Desktop. I'm using the original Apple 4 gig drive. (I've replaced it with a WD 100 gig, but for the purpose of trying X, I've pulled it out and reinstalled the 4 gig). I get as far as the select destination disk, but I have no choices other than the dimmed OS X cd image. I've tried reformatting the drive into 2 partitions, but no change. For some reason it doesn't see the Apple 4 gig drive. To get out of this I have to select quit and hold down the option key to restart in OS 9. If I don't hold down the option key I restart and get to a gray screen- nothing else- no cursor no beach ball, nothing. OK, Here's the curious part: When I pull the 4 gig drive (I'm shut down of course), reinstall the 100 gig and restart, if I don't hold down the option key I still come up to the gray screen! How can this be? The other drive is not even in the machine! I don't get it! What's up with either of these problems? Thanks for any help/advice. M
