Hey guys, ran into a serious problem here.
Awhile back, I got an older iMac, and installed Linux on it. I killed off all the partions and replaced them with Linux ones. I finally got my hands on a complete set of the OS (8.6 - 10.3) and every time I try and use the CDs (all the bootable ones) I get this error:
"MAC-PARTS: the specified partion is not valid"
What I got from the Apple website was that it probabbly couldn't find the "startup disk," because the finder icon flashes up on the screen, followed by a question mark.
I'm thinking that I have to somehow get Darwin over to the old thing, and make partions that the CDs can boot from, but I'm not sure.
Any suggestions, help, guides, etc. will be VERY appreciated. Thanks again guys.
