Hi this may sound like a newbie question but thats what i am to macintosh.

well here it is

i recently installed macosx server
coming from the windows world it was just a natural move for me
but i formatted the disk with unix filesystem and now my restore cd wont work anymore

BTW i have a powerbook g4 550 if this can help

TIA all
 
my understanding is that osx requires hfs+ format to run properly and to do any diagnostics and repairs. while it will work with any additional drives connected to it that are formatted in other ways, it must sit on hfs+. advice is to reformat.
 
thanks for the advice i reformated my drive
but the thing i wanted to know was what to use to reformat it properly but one of my friends told me how to do it.

using the disk utility in the osx install cd

thanks anyway for the replys

btw i formated my drive using the advanced osx filesystem

but the reason i choose the unix filesystem in the first place is because im more familiar with unix
