I have a Power Mac G4, it has OS 9. Imam trying to upgrade to OS 10.2.3 (Jaguar). It is going smoothly until I get to the "Select Destination" screen. It stalls there and does not show any disks to choose from.
Any ideas?
Thanks. Abe Oliver

Hello Abe,
If it's a Digital Audio or earlier, you need to install a Firmware update first...
As explained in "Mac OS X 10.2 Welcome and Install Manuals" and "Mac OS X Welcome and Install Manuals", you may need to update the firmware on your Macintosh computer prior to installing Mac OS X 10.2 or later. The following table lists the firmware updates that are available for Apple products that can update to Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
