I formatted my blank HD with Drive Setup from my OS 9.1 utilities. I copied
X postfacto to that HD. I don't have a copy of OS 9.1 on CD, so I copied my

the installation CD's said it is supposed to have a OS 9.2 CD with it.
Apparently you have to have 9.2 installed before X. Is X supposed to work
on top of 9.1, or do I need to upgrade to 9.2 first?
It may be that because you brought over the system folder rather than doing a clean install, you are having problems.
If you only have the 9.2 disk, go to OS9forever.com and download their installation helper to load 9.2 onto your destination drive.
If you don't have a disk for 9.2 but have the 9.04 disk then download the 9.2 upgrade from Apple. Do a clean install of the 9.04 and upgrade using the helper to 9.2. Launch XPF and install. It should see your drive once you have the system on the drive.
Alternatively, if you think that the drive's OS is valid as a start-up folder, then try starting up from the destination disk. If it does, then launch XPF on that drive and try installing.
