[QUOTE="luvmymac, post: 913792, member: 123071"] If anyone can answer this complicated question, you will officially be the lord of all things mac in my eyes! :) This is a long question, hang in there with me. I have a imac g3 that was running os 10.3.2. It did not have a classic folder, so I attempted to reinstall the folder from one of my os9 disks, but it resulted in a mess. It brought the os back to 9.1 and I had to reinstall 10.1. Now, when I go to my start up disk it shows the 10.1, two 9's (still can't do classic though, I don't care about that anymore) and the 10.3.2 originally on it. There is also the "original files" file in the hd with that I believe is the 10.3.2 os. I tried to restart the computer from 10.3.2 within the startup disk, and it still starts up in 10.1. So, how do I get my 10.3.2 back? If it's still there, I should be able to tap back into it, correct? It would be great if I could somehow get classic working too, but at this point, I'm willing to disregard that in order to get the 10.3.2 back. If you can answer this, I will personally crown you the mac king/queen of the year! [/QUOTE]
