peepnklown Posted February 26, 2007 CID Share Posted February 26, 2007 I know the problem: you are using a MAC. Which MAC OS are you using? Should I assume OS 9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted February 26, 2007 CID Share Posted February 26, 2007 if you have a OS install disk that came with the computer run the driver reinstall. a driver is missing. I know the problem: you are using a MAC. Which MAC OS are you using? Should I assume OS 9? this is a problem that can happen on any PC or mac. If he is using OS 10.3 or higher it would be a hell of alot easier to fix then on a pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OS X 10.4 You are trying to load OS X 10.4 on that G3 powered MAC? I have heard the 10.4 cannot be installed unless you use XpostFacto 4 but, you can install 10.3 without any 3rd party help. I have also heard that if you have the DVD drive it is not supported under OS X and DVDs must be watched under classic OS 8.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
