To boot the PTPro from a CD you need to start with command/control/shift/delete keys in case you are trying the C key. I would also try downloading a new OS9.2.1 updater and try OS9helper again. Are you downloading with OS9helper ? or just downloading with your browser ? What kind of CD-ROM do you have ? That you are trying to boot from ? A newer version of DiskCopy may help too. -- Ron http://krowmagnum.4mg.com/ -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:powercomputing@mail.maclaunch.com> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
