Brian,

Hold down the c key as you power on to boot off the CD, as long as you copy you shouldn't have any problems, but don't understand why you're doing the intermediate transfer.

Just got my new 40G (8 meg buffer) drive for my 3400C. Will it boot from a 9.1 CD with no OS installed on the drive or do I have to make a boot disk?
Never done this on a Mac before.
I'm copying my old 2 gig drive to my G3 now, as it was exactly the way I wanted it. If I format the new drive can I simply copy the old one back to it and continue or are there settings that wouldn't work? Thanks.
