remove Tiger's invisible files?

2005-12-13 Thread kaldav

Hello,
Tiger has failed to install on my Pismo. However, since I can start 
up from the OS9 partition, a Sherlock search tells me that there are 
a large number of invisible files on that partition. How can I make 
these files visible and delete them so that I can consider installing 
Panther?

Thanks.

It might be better, time-wise, to just format that partition before
installing Panther. It is quite possible that whatever prevented Tiger from
installing on your Pismo might well prevent Panther from installing as well.
IMHO, you're just not looking at the right place to find the problem...

Do you know WHY it failed to install? Tiger runs perfectly happily on  
mine...

A tool such as File Buddy will let you locate all invisible files, 
make them visible and trash them.


But see Bruce's reply... Better to figure out what went wrong first...
