startup disk image
So it seems i cant find a startup disk for OS 9 to reset my wallstreets password. Is there a way or goto a place to download a disk image file so i can burn a startup floppy disk with my other g3 laptop OS X Tiger. Thanks -- - James D.

You can download the special Disk Tools 8.5 bootable floppy for the Wallstreet here: http://www.alksoft.com/personal/stuff.html Then delete the Preference for Multiple Users and you should be able to boot without any password prompt. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Thanks I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but you can legally download a bootable disk image of Mac OS 9 for free here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120243. -- Best Regards, John Musbach -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

If it's asking for a password BEFORE booting the OS, this is a firmware password, not an OS password. To get rid of a firmware password you'd need to remove the battery and the PRAM battery. As for the image not fitting, this is a problem with the floppy itself. When a floppy has bad blocks, they're mapped out on formatting and the available size is smaller than the maximum size. There are also two sizes of floppy (actually more, but for our purposes just two), the 800k and the 1.44MB, so you need to be certain you've got a 1.44MB floppy, and then use Disk Copy to make the floppy from the .img file.

This isn't a bootable disc image file, it's an OS X installer package. Very different things. This installs OS 9 from within a booted OS X environment. It doesn't create a bootable OS 9 installer CD, and AFAIK there are no OS 9 live CDs (a CD that boots into a working OS 9 System, as opposed to the installer CD which is limited to certain utilities and installing OS 9). -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
