I am surprised that the machine will not boot from the OS 8 CDROM, unless the CD-ROM drive is not bootable. However, you can download the OS8.1 disk tools from here: http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=316&db=macos The problem is, that this Disk Tools floppy has no AppleCDROM driver on it. You may be able to simply drag the system folder onto your hard disk and boot from there, but you still won't have the Apple CD ROM driver. If you want and if the above works, email me off-list and I'll send you a universal CD-ROM driver. HTH paris __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
