Hey P,
I believe the poster had the HD formatted w/ FWB and was unsure of his/her
options.
I gave all options:
reformat HD w/ HFS+
dont reformat, upgrade over current System folder or upgrade w/ a new
System folder & save "Pevious System folder".
I DONT BELIEVE that you can update Apple's Hard Disk Driver if it was
formatted by FWB or some other company...
Let me know if I'm wrong,...
BTW, How do you make a bootable floppy for/from OS 8.5? I'd love to try it.
>>>FWIW, the last OS that could boot from a floppy was 8.5<<<
Dono'

This is dangerously wrong. The hard disk driver _must_ be updated to run
later OS versions either before installing and then restarting [safer], or
using the automatic update feature of the installer, whether or not you
reformat to HFS+.
