All, I bought an bondi iMac with a CD-ROM that does not get recognized. This machine just get worse. It won't start up with extensions running. I must hold down the shift key to get a desktop. The CD-ROM does not recognize the CD-ROM, so when I try to start with a OS disk it offers to format the disk as PRODOS (only choice). The System Profiler lists the CD-ROM but does not have a serial number for it unlike the other hardware detected by the profiler. I was thinking I should use the extension manager and shut off all the extensions except...your suggestions would be appreciated here. Then try to start with a very limited extension set. Any thoughts?
I got it running with the extensions on yesterday once. Started file sharing and got the Disk Repair on the HD from old faithful 6100. Used disk repair. It stated the HD wrapper was damaged, and for me to reformat the HD. I'd love to, but I can't get a startup disk image onto the HD now or start from the 6100's CD-ROM over the network. ARGH! Your suggestions will be very welcome. TJ -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
