Yes! It IS a greay installer that says "G5" on it. So I guess the only thing it will install on is a G5... :( Is there any way I could burn it onto another DVD minus the software package that makes it G5 specific? Hummmm. How do I get one of those black universal installer DVDs, or do you...

Okay, first my computer specs, and then the problem. *I have a G3 beige Mac, logic board revision 1, 266MHZ processor, 6MB Video RAM, 416MB system RAM, 120GB hard drive, OS 9.2.2. (I also have 2 seperate 6Gig drives at my disposel) *Here's what happens when I try doing a clean install of...

Thank you. That's actually exactly how I fixed the problem last night. I'm pretty sure the breaking glass was happening with the stick of memory installed. So I pulled it out, leaving no memory in any of the slots, and the breaking glass still happened. Ultimently I stuck a different memory...

I also checked the little battery on the board. It's outputting almost 4.0 Volts and 3.6 Volts is printed on the battery, so it's working just fine. Something wierd I noticed was that the sound of breaking glass happens IMEDIATLY after the startup chime. The amount of time that passes...

I have all my memory pulled out. Only memory left is the stuff soldered onto the board...

Wierd... So I put everything back in and turn the computer on. It does the startup chime and then makes a quick sound of glass breaking. I'm not kidding you. It's like my computer is made out of glass and someone dropped it, breaking it into a bunch of little glass Mac pieces with a little...

. HELP! BROKEN GLASS! ( See third post ) I've been trying to get OS 10.3 to work on my Beige G3 desktop using xpostfacto. I know it has done wonders for others, but of corse it's poisen to my particular G3 revision. Anyway, I was trying to just get my...

I finally figured it out, err, well... someone at an apple store did anyway. I took my tower in and one of the "mac geniuses" looked at it. He said it might be the monitor. More specifically, some monitors have a feature called "DDC," something that allows the monitor to talk to the video card...

How do I make sure I keep the first part of the partitioned Hard Drive open for OS X? When I partition it into two partitions, they are labled "untitled" and "untitled 2." Do I just use "untitled" for the OS X partition? Does there have to be some sort of OS 9 instal on the same partition OS X...

Open up Disk Utility and see if it even registers. Also try turning off the computer, unpluging the drive, turning on the computer, turning off the computer, plugging the drive back in, turning the computer back on. (Or just turn off the computer, unplug the drive and plug it back in, and turn...

I just thought of something else. When I was trying to install using xpostfacto, both partitions would display an explination mark surrounded by a yellow triangle. A double click on it revieled a message that said the partition was not within the first 8Gigs of the drive. Didn't make sence...

I tried pulling out everything to bare bones designation. Nothing but the 6Gig HD and the CD-ROM and the RAM hooked up. Video RAM installed too, but that wouldn't matter a I think. I also tried with just one stick of RAM installed for each of the sticks of RAM and nothing different happened. I...

I've spent almost two straight days trying to get OS 10.2 to load onto my G3 Desktop using every conceivable combination of hardware being pulled out and software being installed (xpostfacto) and still it won't work. What gives? Isn't a G3 supported with OS 10.2? Please feel free to ask if a...

Yeah, I tryed the Mac help and it kept trying to get me to mount the disk? Strange. No matter now, I'm running OS 9.2.2 off of partition 1 of 2 now. I don't know why, but my internet is running ultra slow now on both IE and Mozilla. I have a bad feeling an extension or two that was in use didn't...

Yes! It's working great now. Of course it was the button I dared not touch because I thought it would...well... do what the button said. Initialize the disk. Hope I can get OS X running on the partition okay. Thanks again for your help and even re-activating your OS 9 machine. :)

" * " means there is a box to check or uncheck next to the text. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "initialization options..." -----> *low level format...

When I click on the menue item at the top of the screen titled "functions," the following options are listed: "initialization options..." "update driver" "customize volumes..."...

I don't think QuickTime can play .3gp format. You can use it to convert .3gp to an .avi format that it likes though. Here is a web site that tells you exactly how and tells you a little about .3gp format as well. http://www.gromkov.com/faq/faq2004-0067.html If for some reason that doesn't...

:confused: I don't see anywhere an option to partition my drive in the Drive Setup. I don't even see a ghosted out option for that. I tryed booting from the OS CD and using the Drive Setup on the CD and that unghosted most of the stuff, but still no partition option. Is this task being called...

I don't know if the following is true with non-classic OS software (OS 10 and above), but if you plan on installing a bunch of software from a broad time scale (some much older, but still functional software, with newer software), then you're going to have to spend alot of time finding out the...
