>Terry responded: >Probably because you need OS 9 or 9.1 & up for Quicktime 6. No, this is not correct. I installed QT 6 on my 8500 running OS 8.6 and it installed fine and works great. I initially got the same error message as csr but attributed that to the fact that I had transferred the QT installer from a zip disk and apparently the QT installer assumed I wanted the application installed on my zip drive. It searched for a bootable system folder, couldn't find one and gave me that message. I removed the zip and turned the zip drive off and did another QT install. The installer then found my system folder on my hard drive and the install went without a hitch. Try your install again making sure that only the drive you want the QT6 app on is active (and contains a bootable system folder) and it should work fine. By the way, regarding the Iomega Zip comments in other posts, I have been using a SCSI Zip100 drive (5 years) on my 8500 and a USB Zip100 (going on 3 years) with no drive or media problems. To be safe I really "should" do more regular CD back-ups. Maybe my experiences with my Zips has given me a false sense of security but I can not knock them. (And I'm "knocking on wood.")
