[QUOTE="Collin Bl, post: 1004024, member: 95994"] U do not say how u made the bootable image. My method which worked OK was to make a .dmg of a newly installed OS on a G3 that i was testing and did not want to have to go thru complete install/update process, yet again. With G3 in Target mode i used Disk Utility on my Intel machine to make a .dmg of G3 hard drive. When i was ready to do a clean install over the G3 HD i started it in Target Mode with Firewire lead to Intel unit and once again used Disk Utility - by selecting restore - to put the OS back onto the G3 HD. Seem to recall it saying it was scanning the dmg at one point, Hope that might be of help. Migration Assistant in Utilities on a new OS, will import user data from eg a Superduper bootable backup that is on a Ext HD - Must be connected on Firewire if it is a PPC Mac. [/QUOTE]
