In response to Albert D'Amanda concerning my PowerMac 7300, and problems with IDE drives not booting the machine :
1- What is a "Blessed System Folder" ? 2 - All three drives (2 IDE HDs, and 1 SCSI HD) show up in the Startup Disk control panel 3a - I used the OS 9.1 CD to install OS 9.1 on the 40GB HD 3b - The 6GB HD was pulled from my G3, and was fully functional, with a complete System (installed from OS 8.5, updated to OS 8.6) 4 - The only way I can presently boot the machine is from the 1GB SCSI HD, with OS 9.1 5 - When I select either IDE HD, the machine just boots from the SCSI HD 5 - Both IDE drives are accessible, and able to read/write, with no problems Albert D'Amanda wrote: > Back to basics > > 1.Are you sure you have a "blessed" system folder installed on those > drives ? > > 2.
