Also, I'm sure you're away that Power 8600 can only take (boot) Mac OS 9.1 and lower, not 9.2 and not Mac OS X w/o additional help/utilities, such as XPostFacto.

i'll give it another go, with different cds, since every attempt i've
made to copy it, using both disk utility and toast have resulted in a
non booting powermac.  thanks for the pointer that i wwasnt missing
somethign really stupid, and its probably just my cheap cds thats the
problem

Hi Georgia,

Since your eMac can read that CD-R, use Disk Utility/Disk Copy to make an
"image" of that scratched CD-R, and burn a new CD-R from that image file and
then use this "new" CD-R into your Power Mac 8600.

I have a Power Mac 8600 too, and its CD-ROM drive can read CD-Rs just fine
(not sure about CD-RWs though)...

Hi,
te har ddisk in my powermac 8600 was apprently ont he way out, its no
longer being seen, but i was given another 4 gig drive for free (which
was quite nice)

however i'm having problems booting from a cd to get an OS installed.
the os disc i got with the machine is badly scratched and unreadable,
i ran one of those things for removing disc scratches over it and my
eMac reads it ok, but i cant get it to copy and make a bootable disc,
the powermac refuses point blank to read the  original disc, and i'm
not sure if it even reads the cd-rs.  anyone got any advice, other
than pick up another copy off ebay?
