[QUOTE="SeanAstronaut, post: 1151111, member: 179464"] Ya I had the firmware updated before I started the install of OS X. Slightly new scenario: I have the same iMac and the same legit discs but a new hard drive. The problem now is that it has no OS on it at all. So now I have the OS 9 discs and when I start it up the ?/Finder icon flashes at me. I know that means no OS is detected or whatever so I put in the 9 disc and restart holding C. The ? icon still flashes at me no matter what I do. I've tried resetting the PRAM and doing disk repairs in disk utility and read countless forums trying to figure out why this is happening. Any ideas? PS. By the way, I know the optical drive works because I played a CD in it when OS 9 was running on the previous hard drive [/QUOTE]
