Ok, my morning was bad! I work on 3D animation and have an Blue and White G3 running OX 10.2.8.
I use classic a lot for older programs that I have not updated recently.
Anyway, I have a 15 gig HD which was almost full. So I went out and bought a 120 gig external drive. I coped about 3 gigs to the new drive when I realized I didn't format it properly. (It workds under OS X but not OS 9. So I copied everything back to my harddrive and tried to switch over to OS 9 to reformat the drive. On restart I get the question mark. I can't seem to get to 9 or X.
I've tried the little utlility on the OS X disk and it says nothing is wrong.
I'd be happy to just reinstall the System software but only if I could keep everythink on my HD but, there is not enough HD space to do this. I'd have to do a clean install and lose a ton of work.
What I really need is a disk to start from so I can dump the stuff I don't need and then reinstall OSX. But I can't get to anything.
HELP PLEASE!
Thank
Jeff
