[QUOTE="kitt123, post: 1659918, member: 46350"] Hello! I picked up two indigo clamshell iBooks running os9 a few days ago. They used to belong to a school and the only accessible account is heavily locked down (I can't even access system preferences or change the wallpaper!) No worry, I thought, since I'll just put a fresh install of os9 on, however, it seems they just won't boot from a cd! I've tried two different universal os9 installation discs to no avail, the machines read them and pick them up (they both appear on the desktops just fine and show as an os9 install disc) however when I attempt to boot from the disc, they read them slowly, then just go to the happy mac icon and boot up as normal. What I was wondering is was it possible for the school to prevent the machines booting from a disc? Any help would be appreciated :) Thanks! Steve [/QUOTE]
