I had the same thing where I tried to boot with the OS 9.1 CD and it would stall at the happy Mac or even go further but stall. I finally took the drive out and reformatted and OS installed on a different machine. Then I put the formatted HD back in the stubborn machine and it worked. Naturally for the method you have to have a spare machine and it sounds like you might. Good luck. Eric -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
