<< I downloaded XPostFacto onto the Beige G3, and ran it. However, it shows that my primary hard drive is "Not a bootable drive"! Why might this be so, when it clearly can run OS9? It offers to install it to my secondary HD, but I'm not sure if that'd work, or if I'd retain compatibility (besides, HD 2 is only a 4GB). -Adam >>
Well, now that makes me think again of the Master-Slave issue...is the hard drive you were trying to install onto a Master? Also, I may have missed it, but have you tried the Open Firmware reset (F+O+Cmd+Opt) that someone mentioned? That worked for me on several occasions during my recent adventure installing OS X on my beige (from an iMac installer, c. 2002). Except that, in my case, I couldn't set my Mac to go *back* to the Classic OS, once I had installed X, for a while -- until I did that. -- Bill Art page: <http://geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
