[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 468383, member: 8287"] I told you at the end of my other post what needs to be done. 2 Partitions. Old Tray Loading iMacs are all that way. 9.1 is basically worthless and no good browsers at all. Make the 1st partition 7.45 GB then another with the rest of the space. Only way it will ever boot from OSX. Unless you can install and boot up OS 9 you really can't tell what the Firmware revision is nor the CPU speed so we can see just what model it is. Tray Loaders though need a 8GB (7.45 GB) First boot partition. Do you have a bootable OS 9.1 CD? If so, boot from it and look on there for System Info. See if you can find the Firmware revision. If after you make the 7.45 GB partition and install OSX, it still will not boot, something else is wrong, but that should fix it. If not let us know. Edit: I just booted my iMac Tray Load with my 9.2 Install CD. Could not find System Profiler. [/QUOTE]
