I was reading on a thread here about installing VPC on a partition using it as a Finder.

I tried to to this but it completely did not work. Here is what I did, can someone show me the faults?


VPC 5
Win2K
OS 9.2.2

Formated a 12GB drive as MacOS Extended
Booted up onto that drive in OS 9
Installed VPC
Copied over a disk image
Configured VPC to run the disk image
Deleted all Control Panels bar Apperence
Deleted all Extensions
Deleted the Finder
Copied the VPC app to the system folder
Renamed VPC to "Finder"
Opened ResEdit
Changed the Creator of VPC to "MAC" and the Type to "FNDR"
Restarted


This started booting OS9 but bombed when it went to load the Finder
Also, when I open VPC it tells me that it can not play sounds.

To those who came from Software rumors.... SORRY.... I know SO many people know the answer to my problem but no one was helping when I had it as a Mac Help question only.
