[QUOTE="bryphotoguy, post: 395352, member: 26695"] Did you get the CD out by holding down the mouse button after power up if you have a slot load or insert the paperclip if you own a tray drive Mac? If this copy of OS 9 works, you can format the HD completely and install os9. You can try holding down the option key during start up and wait for the screen to load. From there, you can choose if you want the OS9 disc to start first or OSX (that's of course saying you have the CD in the drive.) You should be able to install from there. Bryan [/QUOTE]
