Correct Rob except that when I booted from original HD I could only see Mac OS X partition since I installed OS 9 on new other partition...
Now this is what just happened... I have been on OS X for a few hours...when I went back to original OS 9 HD when it was starting up it said that my new HD was unreadable completely now...did I want to initialize it! So now my OS X has disappeared from desktop too...not good. Am I just asking this old thing to do too much? on 10/5/03 8:31 PM, Robert Kersting at laffmakr at aye.net wrote: > OSX is properly installed on the first <8 gig partition. OSX is booting > properly.
