Hi All, this is all well and good, but when I get to the install phase, there is NO LOCATION to install, which means I must partition the drive and wipe out all of my files. I can boot to the system CD, but there is no hard drive available. Thanks, Jim. On Aug 8, 2004, at 12:28 PM, Dylan Moore

It's the same thing. I made my own way, because I had a small HD on my PowerMac and I needed more space to make an install. So removing the System files, the Disc will have more space to make a new install. --- Dylan Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Okay, the last message send out about movi

Okay, the last message send out about moving files all around and re-installing X is a convoluted way of doing an "archive install." Despite its name, there is no archiving. I'm getting ahead of myself. I recently had a similar problem where I got the ? of death and it wouldn't even boot to a CD

Compare that indicator to the one in the control strip. In my experience the one in the control strip updates fairly quickly, while the menu bar one is slow to recognize the change. If your control strip updates quickly, just don't worry about it. Must be a difference in the way the two indicat
