it was osx-only, she wanted classic on it. so i:
1. used CC Cloner to copy osx off it
2. put the ibook in firewire target disk mode
3. used disk utility from _my_ ibook to erase the HD via the partition panel. the "install mac os9 disk drivers" was indeed checked.
4. stuck the os9 install CD into my boss' ibook, started w/ the C key pressed
5. all i get is the ? folder, alternating w/ the same folder w/ an os9 mac icon on it
what gives?
other things i tried:
1. used firewire target mode to install os9; it wouldn't boot (? folder)
2. used f/w target mode to run Disk Warrior; same thing
3. zapped PRAM; same thing
what exactly did i mess up? what else in the h/w can i reset?
