I have a weird problem that I am unable to resolve. system specs. Beige G4 400MHz "NewerTech upgrade" Orig. (G3 266) 512mb ram Radeon 7000 64mb ddr PCI video card Apple 10/10 Strategic USB2 pci card IBM 80gb HD Apple 12 X cdrw from a Quicksilver Orig. floppy drive
Ok I have 2 partitions first one is 7.9gb (8190mb) OS 9.1 installed. The second partition is the remaining space around 70gb for data. Ok the problem I turn it on and I get the start up chime then OF "no bootable HFS partition" about 20 times then "can't open" about 10 times And then I get the grey screen mouse pointer and flashing floppy with ? I have no problem booting off a CD 9.1 or 9.2 But and here's where it gets weird with no CD in boot holding down the C key it goes right to the grey screen mouse pointer and I get the floppy with ? flashes a couple times then a happy Mac and it boots off the hard drive??? I have used a few different hard drives, tryed OS's 9.1 and 9.2 still the same. But If I install OS X "10.2" no problem booting off the hard drive. I'm using 9.1 because 9.2 keeps locking up at the desktop just when its loading the HD's not sure about that the 9.2 CD boots just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
