Re: MDD, Gray Screen, Access Optical Drive?

Holding down the mouse button when you start up doesn't work? You know, I always thought that only worked if there was a disk already in the drive. But I went home and tried it yesterday on the machine with an empty drive, and it worked. Thanks. However, after I inserted my 10.4.? disk, the machine continued to behave the same. I think I'm going to need to open it up and pull the other two IDE cables and see if that gets me past the gray screen. -- 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.

The F12 key wasn't working, but the mouse button did the trick. However, the machine isn't seeing the Tiger installation disk (yes, it's the retail version, not system-specific). I'm going to try pulling the ATA-66 and ATA-100 cables next. Perhaps something in the failed drive is hanging the system. Thank you to everyone for your help and suggestions. If anyone has anything else to add, please do not hesitate.

OS9.1 Updater
I have a PowerMac G4 that I need OS9 on for a firmware update. I have 9.0.4. I installed it via target disk mode and was then going to update it to 9.1 via target disk mode on a iMac running OS 9.0.4. The links on Apple's website are bad, so I cannot get the update so the machine will boot. Does anybody have the updater for International english 9.0.4 to 9.1? Thanks in advanced. -- 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.
