Picked up a 333mhz Tray load iMac G3, came with a 6 gig drive and 8.6, Swapped it out for a 80GB Maxtor drive which is recognized fine by both the 8.6 restore disk and an official os 9.1 disc.
It installs fine but won't boot off the hard drive, When I use the install CD to select the boot device it detects that there's an install of the OS but it still won't boot off of it.
Heard something about batteries being an issues but it booted up fine when I first tried it with the old HD, Also used the Firmware update app that came on the OS 9 cd but it said there's a newer version installed.
Any ideas?
