To be honest, somebody with my level of knowledge in this field really has no business in attempting what I just attempted.
I have a Powermac G3, it is running OS8.6, I downloaded the Macos9lives 9.2.2 and burned the image to a cd.
I tried to install it and I told it to overwrite Macintosh HD.
I did read the instruction included that told me to partition the HD, but it would not allow me to it.
My logic was that I want a fresh install, overwrite the current HD and start a fresh right....well...no it seems.
It started working, and then failed, saying that Macintosh HD may be unusable.
I tried to boot up the Mac again and it says OS 8.6 and then I get this message..
Sorry, a system error occurred.
address error
To temporarily turn off extensions, restart and hold down the shift key.
I followed that instruction several times, but I keep getting the same thing over and over.
What have I done?
Thanks in advance,
Matt.
