Don't hold the control, just hold the 'c' key.
Well, I've booted from the OS 9 CD.
Then I've gone to 'Utilities>Drive Setup.
There it only has the installation disk as a selection for
initializing, so I have no access to the hard drive.
Did I take a false step somewhere? Do I use something other than Drive
Setup in Utilities to wipe the hard drive? Or does this mean that the
hard drive is dead?
Thanks,

Now this is an even worse problem. The iMac won't let me eject the OS 9
CD because the of the "active system software". I'm going to unplug
this for now. Is my OS 9 disk trapped in the this? (It's a nice 9.2.1
copy !!!!)
Confused,
Donald
