Strange Riddle.
Hello All, Got my 17 PowerBook a few days ago and wanted to play with the TechTools de Luxe CD that was supplied with AppleCare. It appeared on the desk top, I could open it but when I restarted with C it started to make the usual driver noises but stopped after about 1 minute with a blue Screen. Every attempt ended the same way whereas my Flattop 15 iMac had no problems arriving at the working stage. Then I tried my DW v.3 same situation, not finalizing installation from C. Talked and exercised for close to an hour with the AppleCare Helpdesk, no solution. Both CD's work allright on both my flattop aswell as my wife's iMac SE. They proposed to replace TechTool so I said what about DW. Now I'm stuck and cannot use either of these CD's on my PowerBook for good housekeeping. Has anybody encountered such a situation and what would be the solution. Greetings, Andre. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

On booting, the drive has to read the boot tracks which is not exactly the same than when it appears on the desktop after you already booted. -Laurent. -- Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelinhttp://nemesys.dyndns.org Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] elder days n.: The heroic age of hackerdom (roughly, pre-1980); the era of the PDP-10, TECO, ITS, and the ARPANET.

The new machines require 10.2.6 or so to boot and the TTD and DW CDs only have ~10.2.3 on them. if you contact Alsoft, i believe they are providing updated CDs. the applecare agent should have known about the TTD CD not working - if they don't already have an updated CD available, they should shortly. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

It shipped with 10.3, and that is the minimum OS it needs to boot. You do need to get the new CDs (from AppleCare for TechTool Deluxe, and from Alsoft for Disk Warrior).
