[QUOTE="samluks, post: 944322, member: 131854"] Greetings. I have been searching for a while and finally found a site that I think might help me. I read in an earlier post of the person who was trying to boot his Sawtooth G4 with OS9. I believe that I have a Sawtooth G4, but I have a Mac OS 7.6 CD-rom. I *don't* think it was machine specific, as OS7.x was 'freeware' from Apple... correct? I am unsure of the memory, but the HD is 6gig. I have tried to hold the [B]C[/B] to boot from the CD drive, but it seams to bypass it altogether. if it won't read from the CD-rom, can I assume that the reader is bad? How can I tell if the HD is bad? When it finishes its 'boot' it is flashing the Mac smiley face and the "[B]?[/B]" icon (missing OS/ boot error... correct?) I am trying to get this to work so I can 'test the waters' so to speak. Any help or wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sam [/QUOTE]
