I need to be working....later Will S > Ok, the info I listed was correct but incomplete.The post from Phillip Meza saying he didn't have this problem jogged my memory. I belive Phillip is running a S900 Umax machine. This issue only effects some machines. The Beige G3 is the one noted as having this problem all models it seems.(I did a search and found some info) It also effects early iMacs (233,266 and 333mhz models) and the Powerbook G3. Apple says "on these machines that the partition that OSX is installed on must reside fully within the first 8gb of the drive". Since Apple doesn't support Old World Macs it of course doesn't give us any info on them. I think we may have missed this defect and it doesn't effect our machines. I'm fairly sure this is true of the Umax J700/S900 speak up if your machine is effected by this limitation. Will S
