Startup from previous system?

I installed OS 10.4.2 over a newer version (10.4.6? on my iMac G5). I have the "Previous System" folder. I want to get back to where I was before I stupidly installed an older OS. How can I start up from the previous system? Thanks!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.2), Start up from "Previous System"?

That is not possible from the Previous System folder. That folder is only there to provided for the recovery of files.Hence the reason that a backup is suggseted because if you had backed up with a bootable clone going back would be a matter of rebooting to the colne and restoring the clone.


You will need to reinstall the previous system from CD.
