RE: [PLUG] mac os 9 or x reinstall
|
Two choices.
#1 - boot off the os 9 cd and use one of the items in the Utilities folder
(not drive first aid, something else, can't remember the name).
Or, #2 - you can boot off the yellowdog cd and delete all the linux
partitions and make them HFS (can't do HFS+ at this point), then, boot off
the OS 9/X cd and reformat that drive as HFS+ (you might have to use os 9
for this part). Once you have the drive as HFS+, both OS 9 and OS X
installers should recognise it no troubles.
That should get you started.

Hmm. My neighbor had a similar problem with a desktop Mac; a G3 I
think. The drive wouldn't "initialize" unless it was the only drive
enabled in the system. After that it was fine. In your case maybe
completely removing any existing partitions would help. Or try using
Linux's fdisk or cfdisk to create a Mac partition.
I wish I could take a trip to Japan. You will wish you were there, too,
after the woman comes back to the US! You are so dead! ;^>
