Howdy People,
I have a drive with trouble in OS 10.3.8,
and need to an option archive and instal of the OS . Keep "user &
other
folders .
My CD is 10.3 , so the installer rejects it because a newer system is
installed.
I am guessing I should be able to " unbless " the existing 10.3.8
BY removing a file or folder ... anybody hazard a guess which one ?
As long as I can restart the CD 10.3 and instal,
the 10.3.8 combo update should follow ok .... I hope !
Thanks
Bob
Hi Bob
You should be able to restart, holding down the "c" key and boot off
the OS
10.3 CD.
From there you can choose the "Options" and select "Archive and
Install".
You can also select "Preserve User Data and Settings" (or something
similar
to that wording). It's on the same screen when you click the option
button.
It should then go through, reinstall 10.3, save all the user data so
it's
"back to normal" when it reboots, then you can just upgrade to 10.3.x.
Of course, always back sure you have another backup of your data "just
incase". :o)
So you don't really need to unbless or move any folders at all.
Hope that helps.
Kind Regards
Daniel
HI Daniel, the suggestion is FANTASTIC ....... But,
I have to use Xpostfacto to access my old SCSI gear .
I will have to put the thinking cap on and see if there is a way to use
your idea .
Thanks
