Problem after installing mac os 9.22 Universal
« on: January 15, 2020, 03:00:51 AM »
A long time ago I downloaded an image os mac os 9 from this forum (Link: http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php/topic,2109.0.html)
And after booting from CD I installed Hard Drive image and rebooted and... it didn't work. I thought "Okay I'll try again"
But when I tried to boot from CD my Mac ejected it... I tried other disk image and when it tried to boot it ejected CD again. I tried to remove Hard Drive from my Mac and it booted from CD.
Can someone help he with that pls.

Okay my family id is M5183 (I can't reply for some reason)

if the cd is ejected it's because the software has determined that its the wrong cd for that particular machine you have;
its happened to me many times aswell and its incredibly frustrating unless u realize that is whats going on

can u provide us with  abit more information
you need to specify which exact machine it is that you own, a bit more detailed than "a g3/g4"
