Re: Almost Dead Wallstreet (update)
Glad to hear its up and walking. Try running a CD cleaner through the CD drive. Sounds like its dirty or out of focus. There is an adjustment process for the drive, I had to do it for my 1400, but its a little complicated. Somebody had directions for the PB1400 CD drive (should be similar). I don't remember who's website it was on but Maybe somebody else remembers??? http://mywebpages.comcast.net/gionpeters//pb1400.htm Mad Dog -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Almost Dead Wallstreet (update)
I had the Wallstreet that had the disallowed symbol while starting in 10.2 I borrowed a ibook and moved my HD over. It still had the disallowed symbol so I put a 9 start-up CD in, and after starting from that told the HD to start from 9. Put it back in the Wallstreet and it is running again in 9. The CDRom is back but not reading all types of disks (can read the 9.2 update disk but not audio) It would not start the computer from the CDRom while 10 was on the HD. Batteries are still not charging even though I have a new dc card, and a new charge card. I put the battery in, it looks like it sees. It shows that the battery is very low and sometimes flashing with a full red. But after a few minutes the x comes over the battery symbol at the top of screen. And the control strip tells me that the bay is empty. I would like to get everything running again, any suggestions. Thanks, Kathiz -- Why does the disallowed symbol come up. What does it mean? Not enough ram? Bad ram? I'm sure that there are a number of causes for the disallowed symbol. But the one I ran into when I installed OS 10.2 on my Wallstreet was that I had an external hard drive connected to the PB via a PCMCIA card. I kept getting the circle with the red slash through it when trying to install OS X, until I ejected the PC card. So, if you have **any** peripherals connected to your Wallstreet, disconnect all of them and try the install again. I'm not saying this *is* your problem, but it's worth a try.

Re: Almost Dead Wallstreet
Why does the disallowed symbol come up. What does it mean? Bad or unbootable OS X install. Not enough ram? Bad ram? Nope. Bad RAM might have caused your install to fail - I missed the start of the thread I did get it to install and it ran fine, I booted into 9 to work on some older applications and when I switched back to 10 I get the disallowed and now I cannot even get it to boot to the CDRom or back into 9. Why can't you get it to boot of a CD ? You put a proper OS 9 CD in and hold the C key down ? The only thing that I can think to do would be to put the HD into another computer and tell it to start from 9 and then put it back. I just have to find a computer to put it into. Were both on one partition ? IIRC there is a way via open firmware to select a different boot partition. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
