Many non-Apple CD drives require drivers from the manufacturer (or other source). Later versions of the Mac OS have "built-in" drivers for many drives that meet Apple specifications in certain features. Since your drive "works" when you boot with a System 8.5 CD, it seems to follow that the version of the OS on that CD has the necessary driver to support the drive. Since the machine will not operate the drive when booted from the Hard Drive, it also seems to follow that the OS installed on the Hard Drive does not include the needed driver. As a starting point, I would compare the contents of the Extensions Folders of the operating systems on the Hard Driver and the OS 8.5 CD, looking for differences in the drivers. If you find differencs, I would move the driver from the 8.5 CD to the Hard Drive and try again. Ken -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
