Stephen,
Just a couple of thoughts... You might try booting with extensions off. You should not have extension conflicts with a clean install, but it is worth a try. If that second drive is empty, try running Drive Setup from the System 9 CD and reformat the drive. They try installing again. I had troubles installing 9 on one of our machines. It worked when I booted from the System CD, and installed from there. (rather than starting up from one drive, inserting the CD, and installing to another drive) Nancy > Stephen Kramer wrote: > Any suggestions....
