Just to be sure...do you have OS X on either of these drives that you rebuilt in 9? If so that could be the problem...You can rebuild the OS 9 desktop on a OS X drive by using classic system preferences and you should never rebuild a OS X drive like you did in 9...that could be the problem now. > so what exactly am > I missing by only running OSX Tiger in safe mode, and could this mean that > something in the standard reboot mode is causing the firewire problem? Safe mode forces a directory check and repair like that in disk utility or fsck and only loads basic kernel extensions as well as Apple only startup items.
