The following are the likely possibilities: 1. Bad partition directory via Copy / Install 2. A non-universal system install copied over from another computer 3. A corrupted System or Finder file--try dumping them and the relevant prefs first. (Or try booting from the PC card slot with the replacement items). Sidney Ho An upgrade is unlikely to correctly overwrite a non-booting system. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
