Hi, hotfire -

We will need some more information in order to help you.

First, what is the exact model Mac that you have? If you don't know, what is the generic model (iMac, G4, PowerBook, etc.), and what is the processor speed and how many processors does it have?

What specific OS version is on the machine? (your message specs state OSX, but this is the OS 9 section)

What bootable OS Install CDs do you have?
