Hi Listers, Presuming a bootable CD-ROM is not folded, spindled, mutilated, stepped on -- or given to someone's dog, cat or child to chew or scratch up -- what would cause it to suddenly fail to boot and instead give this message:
"This disk is unreadable by this Computer. Would you like to initialize?" And then offer you a choice of Mac OS Standard or Extended 62.5 MB to initialize it with...? Both of my boot disks (an OS 9 and an OS 9.1) did this. They both also read up fine (as do other CDs I put in). Does this mean I can burn copies of them, and the COPIES will boot my G3? ~Yersinia. ________ "My answer to the covers-every-occasion statement about men's mistakes that 'it's in their genes' is that if they didn't have in their jeans what they've got in their jeans, we'd leave them cold, hungry and naked." -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
