If you did install OS 9.x, you would certainly know it, because it would have taken quite some time, especially if you did a custom installation. On the basis of your statements, I would guess that the hard drive is OK, but just not mounted. It just seems unlikely that the drive would die during what you did. You have made several references to missing "images," or icons, on the desktop. Do you see the drive within any disk utility programs, such as Apple's Disk First Aid, Drive Setup, or other? If yes, then try to mount it. Fabian -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
