what if you trashes the new system aswell ? a blank screen used to be the result of a ID conflict - but i do not think that is possible with a startup disk. Hook it up as a docked SCSI - save what you need of the files and programs on the docked disk and lowlevelformat, writes zeros , zap and rebuild the desktop and install again from scratch? kenta -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
