Instaler goes back to OS 9 |

I am attempting to install Jaguar on an upgraded 7300. System: 384MB RAM, 80GB SE WD drive run off a SIIG ATA/133 card. The drive is partitioned, and I am trying to install Jaguar on the first partition. This is a 40GB partition, but as the drive is seen as SCSI, I did not think that the 8GB limit would apply. The machine also contains a Radeon 7000 video card (which I have tried either connected or disconnected from the monitor), the original CD-ROM, which I am using for the installation, and a 4GB hard drive on the original fast SCSI. The WD drive has 9.2.2 installed on the first two partitions (using OS9 helper). Now, when I start Xpostfacto 2.2.4 and select the Jaguar install disk, the first partition of the WD as the target and restart, I boot back into OS 9.2.2. The monitor power on light goes off and back on an extra time, and there is a small amount of CD-rom activity, but apart from that, it seems lika a perfectly normal boot from OS 9. Can anyone give me any ideas? Thanks Scott |

Either of your ideas could work. If you install the drive in a B & W G3, you won't need XPostFacto to do the install, but you will need it to get things working when you transplant your drive back home. The most common reason for booting back into Mac OS 9 has to do with the software used to format the drive. Sometimes reformatting with Apple's Drive Setup or Intech's Hard Disk SpeedTools helps. |

The Jaguar version is 10.2. I have just tried using an external SCSI CD-rom with the installer disk- no difference. The only things I can think of seem either risky or hard work- install onto a SCSI drive, and carbon copy clone onto the IDE drive; or take the IDE drive and PCI card to work, put them in a B&W G3, install Jag using Xpostfacto, and bring the drive home again. Any other ideas? Would either of these work? |

I'm having a similar problem with a WD 30 gig drive using the ACARD Ahard /66 . Is your version of Jaguar 10.2.1 or 10.2.2, those versions don't seem to work at all or act flaky on that drive. 10.2 doesn't give me that problem, nor does installing any version of Jaguar to a SCSI drive. |

Sorry, should also have said that the processor has been upgraded to a Powerlogix G4 450. |
