His main problem it would seem at this point is the fact that he doesn't have a bootable OS for his machine. 7.5.3 the Free download from Apple is likely available because it's not of use to anyone using anything newer then an 040 cpu machine. OS 7.6 is the oldest OS that will run on a UMAX machine. Depending on which CDrom player his machine has he maybe out of luck with using it to do an install to a machine with no OS on it. Many of the 8x cdrom players will not boot anything but the Umax system disk. Not using FWB to format the hard drive was likely the reason your problems ended ;-) In fairness to FWB if you were willing to spend money and upgrade with nearly every OS change you could still use it. In the case of 9.04 not only did you have to spend money you had to wait nearly a year for the upgrade! Later Will S
