I would go about this like this: 1st see to it that HDs have no conllicting SCSI IDs and that each SCSI cable connector is snuggly fit. 2nd if you can boot from OS 8 CD format/initialize a drive and install the OS at least to keep your upgrade going. Chances are the drives with 9.2.2 were not installed on your current hardware so they will need to be reinstalled with it so the proper extensions will load. Try another Apple ROM'd CD drive preferrably an 8x since some older 4x drives tend to misread CDs. BTW I find 9.1 faster to boot than 9.2, Charlie -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
