It is possible (probable?) that the drive is formatted with HFS+ and you booted with a TechTools CD that is too old to be able to read an HFS+ partition?? If you run a HFS-only tool on an HFS+ partition I believe you can really mangle things. It might just be easier to format and start over if so. If you boot from the internal HD (I don't see that you said the drive is now non-booting), and put the 9.1 CD in, does the CD show up? There's often no need to boot from the OS CD to do a clean system install, just tell it "clean install" and you get a new system folder. The 9.1 CD should have handled the HFS+ though. TechTool, maybe or maybe not, depends on how old it is. Brian -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
