Could it be that Drive C is not formatted to accept OS 9 drivers? OR,
Taking a clue from a similar problem on another list, could it be that Drive C is over 128 GB and larger than the limit set in the G4's ROM? I'm just guessing, but a detailed description of Drive C, make, model, size, etc., may get the experts here to chime in. -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, proactive self-defense is for the rest of us.
