Hi Juan;

Are those drives SCSI, or IDE. As I remember. the problem is with SCSI drives only.

Greetings!

Now that is an interesting question. I have a couple machines not "os X native" in which I run OS X on a daily basis.

The first one, a B&W G3/400. It has a 40Gb HDD, and OS X resides on a 20Gb partition. Was installed without any frills. The second machine is a rev. D iMac 333. It has a 15Gb HDD and OS X resides on a 10Gb partition. Was installed without any frills.

So, I have never experienced any kind of trouble with the supposed 8Gb partition for installing OS X. Should it be it depends either on firmware revision, or on HDD brand? (I am not sure, I think the 15Gb one is a Maxtor and the 40Gb one is a Hitachi)...

G'day Richard

System X needs to be installed on the first (top) 7.8 Gig of your hard drive.

If you have a drive larger than that, you need to partition it.

Have you done this?

My Jaguar/G3 page might give you some help.

have downloaded X Post Facto, but have tried for weeks and can not open
OS X

I know you guys are really advanced in the mysteries of Mac's.
I bought the book "The Missing Manual" by Pogue and " Mac OS Xv.10.2
Jaguar Little Black Book" by Steinberg.

The books explain all the new features but don't tell me how to open.

Perhaps there is a link for dummies like myself explaining how to do
such things.

Any help would be appreciated,
