Hi,
I'm a relative newbe to Mac's but a true computer geek. I have an old Power Mac 8100/100 AV that I got from work a few years back and I'm trying to fix it up to give to a friend. The system was working fine last I used it (over two years ago). I had upgraded it from OS 7.5 to OS 9.1 back before I stopped playing with it. When I went to test it for my friend before I gave it to him, I noticed if I had a CD in the CD-ROM drive, the system would not boot, also if I inserted a disk while the system was running it would hang and you can not even open the drive.
I didn't remember seeing this issue before I stopped using it. Thinking is was the drive itself, I swapped it for a Toshiba SCSI drive from an old DEC server I had, but that was not recognized by the OS. I then broke down and bought a used 12X drive on ebay and installed it but I get the same results as the original drive neye: .
Can anyone PLEASE HELP a dumb newbe on what he's doing wrong?!?!
Thanks
