hairy35 is on a distinguished road
Thanks for the advice, I will remember that.
The saga continues though, tried my friends disc but didnt work. Ive decided to try and buy an OS 9 Disc, as the computer Ive got does not want to restore anything so it makes me wonder whether the hard drive is completely empty. Does the software restore discs just 'wake' imacs up, and do they already have os9 installed on them ready for the restore discs ready to wake them? Does that make sense?
Any ideas where I can get a full os9 disc from? If apple dont sell it anymore?
Thanks

Make sure you buy the official retail version and not the gray discs that come with the Macs (OEM). The retail version has a number 9 across the disc.
