Yersinia,
If two different boot disks are having the same problem, I would tend
to suspect the drive rather than the disks. Can you boot another Mac
with them (or the same Mac with another CD-ROM drive)?
Enemies of all CDs: heat, cold, light, and scratches, of course.
Best,
Dan
Hi Listers,
Presuming a bootable CD-ROM is not folded, spindled, mutilated, stepped
on -- or given to someone's dog, cat or child to chew or scratch up --
what would cause it to suddenly fail to boot and instead give this
message:
"This disk is unreadable by this Computer. Would you like to initialize?"
And then offer you a choice of Mac OS Standard or Extended 62.5 MB to
initialize it with...?
Both of my boot disks (an OS 9 and an OS 9.1) did this. They both also
read up fine (as do other CDs I put in). Does this mean I can burn copies
of them, and the COPIES will boot my G3?
