[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 557071, member: 3889"] Yes. If you don't have any files you want to save first and if the install disk's Disk Utility works, wipe the drive clean before you reinstall. This isn't a zeroing out that takes forever. There's another command I can't recall that wipes out the index so nothing can be found, and takes only a few seconds. I'm not sure whether there's supposed to be a firmware update involved. I don't think so. Once the machine is running properly, hook it up to the net and use OS 9's Software Update to see if there's anything you need. [/QUOTE]
