I have one problem that is driving me crazy and I am thanking in advance for any who can help
O.K. I have the following setup:
PowerBook G4 800MHz
1024MB RAM
60GB HDD
Mobile Radeon 7500 32MB
OSX 10.2.2
O.K. Here is my minor problem I really would like to fix:
I had did a clean install of OS X installed all of my software and needed to do something in OS 9 for a few days for school. So I install OS 9 When I go to get rid of OS 9 I found that I couldnt delete the folders the install created because the computer was saying that they were owned by root.
From this point I called Apple to ask them what to do and they told me that there is no easy way to uninstall OS 9 once installed. This is something I find hard to believe, because something can always be done
I got on the phone with a supervisor and he told me to open up the terminal and use the following command to delete OS 9:
Sudo rm r *
Where * is the directory I wish to delete from the Root. All I had to do was drag and drop the folders to the terminal window.
I did this and they all deleted.
Now the part that is bugging the hell out of me:
I restart my computer and in my hard drive is one of the items I deleted:
(alias) Desktop (Mac OS 9)
SO I did the terminal command to this item and it deleted again. But every time I turn my computer back on this item always comes back. Can someone please tell me how to get rid of this because the techs at apple dont know how. I tried calling back again and they told me to reinstall OS X. Like its no big deal. There has got to be a way to get rid of this alias without doing that. Thanks for any help guys
Peace
