Jake, This is the way XPostFacto works on our Powermac 8500: --- You should restart while holding the option key, that's the *only* way to boot back in MacOS 9, be it from the CD or any HD partition. Similarly, in order to boot in MacOS X again you have to use XPostFacto to select the MacOS X partition, using the startup control panel won't work. --- It could be that the MacOS 9 partition has become unblessed: in this case try opening and then closing the system folder. The latest DiskWarrior can also fix that problem for you. --- Having a system folder earlier than OS 9.1 in a XPostFacto installation is asking for trouble. If nobody's sent you the boot floppy image yet, you can find them (there are two of them) in the MacOS 8 CD included with the 2400c. Hope this helps. -- Jose Antonio Alvarez Dios e-mail addresses: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] e-fax number (in the USA, handles voicemail too) 1 (419) 828-9794 fax number (in Spain) 34981597054 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
