Re: [L-OT] MacOS9.2.2 startup problem

2004-11-04 by Bob Lowen

Thanks Glenn,

I don't have a dual boot. It is supposed to be just MacOS9.2.2 and 
that, apart from some lost OSX files, is all I can see on it as far as 
system goes. Actually I didn't install it myself, I asked my dealer to 
install it that way because I couldn't manage getting a clean OS9 
installation on this machine (the last one to have the ability to have 
just OS9 on it but it came with only OSX installed). I never touched 
those OSX files and left well alone since I never had any problems with 
them.
