Powerbook g3 "DISK IS LOCKED"

[pineapplepie]

I'm trying to transfer some files from my Macbook 13" that runs 10.6 to my powerbook g3 with os 9.1. Since my powerbook is the wallstreet model (pre-usb and firewire) a flash drive is out of the question. I tried to burn the files to a CD-RW and when I put the disk in my powerbook I get an error and it asks me to initialize (proDOS format) or eject the disk. I clicked initialize as I hoped then i would be able to burn the files to the disk but i get an error that says the disk is locked (WTF?). How can I format the disk so it's readible by my powerbook?

I don't know about the disk, but have you tried a LAN transfer? Does the PowerBook even have an Ethernet port?

I'm guessing your burning the disc in your Macbook as the Powerbook doesn't have a burner. Things you could try, erase the whole disc and burn it as a PC cd or burn it as HFS. What programme are you using to burn the disc?

I agree that a LAN transfer is the way to go - appletalk sharing would be easiest for OS 9.1 using the Chooser option in the OS 9 control panel. I did this myself with a Tiger machine (& OS 9.2.2) not so long ago. just ensre appletalk is on for both machines.

I tried a LAN transfer but Snow Leopard doesn't have Apple Talk or Share, how do I do this?

Oh yeah, I just worked out why its not working, g3's are so awesome they have ROM's meaning they can't read RW's
