But because I have intermitten sound problems I rebooted with the

Hi John,
You have been able to start the computer from the Mac OS 9
Installation.
1. Open the Utilities folder and locate Disk First Aid.
2. Open Disk First Aid and repair the disk.
3. Open the Startup Disk control panel.
4. Choose your hard disk as the startup disk.
5. Restart the computer.
Cheers,
Ronni
So John,
How are you making out ?
Is this perhaps a PISMO Power book, has USb and Firewire Ports ! ?
If you have been able to start with CD you should see Hard Drive on the
Desktop .
Look on that Hard Drive for your System Folder and inside it
The Apple Menu folder.
When the System is blessed there will be a little Apple sitting on the
Folder.
However , looking at your description I'm not sure .
You said
I rebooted with the USB and a music CD in the drive and thats where
we are at the moment.

Does that mean you got the Music CD out and and put the System CD in ?
If so, and you have done what Ronni suggested above and still no joy,
then :-
1.
Start from your CD, go to the Hard drive ->System folder ->System File .
Double Click the System File and I think it should open like a Folder
and show you a list of Fonts.
If it comes up with an Error message it will be corrupted . If you
have backups of YOUR system
it is possible to get it going by dragging out the corrupted file
and dragging in a good one ,
otherwise you will need to do a Clean Instal reinstallation .
More on that if you have to do it.
2.
If the Apple Menu Folder has the Apple on it , your problem could be
just that the Power Book
has it's knickers in a knot.
a Pram Zap may fix that .
At Startup before the chimes, hold down Apple + Option + P + R
until
the startup chimes sound for a second time .
Lets know how you make out !
Bob
