Question Details
TICKET ARCHIVE -> CD ROM restart fails
No Wonder User - Sep 14, 1998 - 12:46 am
Knowledge Level: I'm New!
Problem: Combination
Computer Type: Apple
Model: Mac 6200CD PowerPC
RAM: 64meg
RAM Enhancer: None
OS Version: MacOS 8
Description:
I have been running Mac OS 8.0 with no real problems and have used Norton Utilities 3.5.2 to solve any normal disk problems. Out of curiosity I decided to run Disk First Aid that is on my Hard Drive. It informed me that while problems might be found, it could not fix Startup Disk problems. I ran the program and it told me there were H.D. problems.
I then decided to restart with the System OS 8.0 CD-ROM which I used to install the system, and has "Disk First Aid" on it as an option. I held down the "c key" to be sure that the system started from the CD-ROM. Part way through the startup a "System Bomb" window appeared advising me to restart by holding the "shift key" down to prevent extensions from loading. I tried restarting by holding both the "c key" and the "Shift keys' down, but this simply resulted in booting up from the Hard Drive instead of the CD-ROM. I tried all variations, but I could not get the system to start from the CD-ROM.
What am I doing wrong? I have started before from the CD-ROM without problems, yet this time I am unable to do so to run Disk First Aid. This would also prevent me from installing or reinstalling anything from the original CD-ROM.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi bert,
The os 8.0 Cd has a bad bug in it that causes the crashing. you must startup with the c key down and as soon as the happy mac appears get that shift key down fast, it is not an easy task. this will allow you to boot from the disk. Jerry
