If it's spitting it out, then it's not a bootable floppy. Macs will always try to boot from floppy first if there's one in there (the ones that have floppies, of course).
Stick it in after booting and make sure there's a blessed system folder on there. If you copied it from somewhere, may just need a simple blessing (look for the little Mac icon on the folder) Scott Holder -----Original Message----- From: PowerBooks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of L.Cornelio Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 3:04 PM To: PowerBooks Subject: force boot from floppy? I need to "restore software" on a PB 150 - Mac says shut down, insert disk & reboot, However when I do that the disk gets spit out. This *is* the correct PB150 restore software - but not original - I dowloaded somewhere. Does the disk need to be named something? Or is there a key to force boot from floppy? thanks! -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
