Hi all,
Perhaps this has already been explained but please bear
with me!
I just got an older iMac for 80 euros, it had a 4 GB
harddisk and 64 MB RAM. I went and bought a 512 MB
SO-Dimm and a 160 GB DiamondMax harddisk and souped it
up. The HD was seen by the iMac as having 128 GB only but
that's no problem, is it?
Then I tried to install Panther. After partitioning the
Maxtor HD (1 x 8 GB and 1 x the rest) both partitions
showed up with the red exclamation mark in the installer.
Why can't I use the 8 GB partition to install Panther?
Do I have to update the firmware? How do I do it? The
iMac has no internet connection at the moment.
I have a USB card-reader with a 256 MB FlashCard. Could I
use that for the firmware-update? Download the firmware
on my beige to the FlashCard and then connect the
card-reader to the iMac? Would it be seen by the iMac
when it's started using the Panther installation disk?
Any help is more highly appreciated.
J�rg.
