Perhaps a clean install from your OS 9 disk would be required. At this point that is what I would do if you are sure the OS 9 System folder is blessed. But first, I'd bless the System folder.> Yes, you can copy in an OS 9 System Folder from one Mac to another and expect it to run Classic under OS X, and boot the machine from its own partition. I know, because that's how I got OS 9 (both Classic-only, and boot-only) into that very same iBook in the first place. Classic ran great, and I was also able to boot the iBook in OS 9. None of my various and sundry OS 9 install CDs will install OS 9 on my iBook, which I bought used on EBay and didn't come with any system disks. That's why originally, and now, I had to move OS 9 in by copying System Folders from my G4 (I do have system disks for THAT, but the OS 9 one wouldn't install on the iBook either). Anyhoo, the issue is mostly fixed now, believe it or not -- I even got my little "9" back up in the menu bar! :-) I have one last problem with one app (all my other Classic apps open and run OK, I tested them), but I need to take that to the Claris Emailer list.
