[QUOTE="Jamie-Jamie, post: 1027768, member: 145611"] You have to have a 9.2.1 disc to make this work at all. A 9.1 or 9.0.4 disc will just give you an error at boot. Fortunately, Mac OS 9 discs are forgiving and won't blow up if you use them on different models. The way the OS was designed, they were much more interchangable so if you get a 9.2.2 disc, even a gray one, it'll run on your G4. I have to install 9.2.2 on my Sawtooth G4 from the disc that came with a 600MHz iBook and it's flawless. [/QUOTE]
