Re: [PCI] system problems

Sounds like you'll need to re-install your Operating System. You could  
get DiskWarrior and try to fix the problem, but  I would try to find an  
OS 9.1 retail install CD and initialize your hard drive and re-install  
the software.  OS 9 tends to need a re-install after time anyway and  
your Mac will probably run faster with a fresh install and it will fix  
whatever Norton cannot.

You should avoid buying an iMac or iBook install CD as they may or may  
not work on your 9600.  Some iMac and iBook install CD's will work but  
may not install all of the components needed for your particular Mac.

The LowEndMac Swaplist is a good place to find one unless you can  
borrow one to re-install the OS. The price for an OS 9.1 full install  
should be about $30.00 or less. I wouldn't go any higher than OS 9.1  
unless you specifically need 9.2 for some reason.

Hi,
I have a 9600/300 Power Mac and I am having major problems.  This  
morning
when I attempted to fire it up, I got the blue floppy icon with the  
flashing
question mark.  I booted from both a Tech Tools CD and a Norton  
Utilities CD
(ran Disk Doctor) and each found the same problem: Hard drive: System
Folder: System. Disk Doctor attempted to fix the problem, but then  
told me I
needed to reload software.   As I bought this machine used off eBay a  
few
years ago, I do not have the System Software CD to reboot it which I  
assume
will fix the problem.  It is running 9.1.2.

Any help of suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Karen
