| Can't install OS9.2 in a first iMac generation which had OS8 Hi This problem is really strange. This old iMac had Os8 installed before I tried to install the 9.2 I reinitialized the hard disk, pressed alt+option+P+R to reboot many times this imac with the installation CD. Each time I tried to install the OS 9.2, there is a message like that: Your Mac Internal program is obsolete. Updates.... HD initialization is supposed to earase all data in the computer Why there's still this kind of message when I try to install OS9.2 ? Do I have to press the cuda swich to get rid of this message? If yes, where is the cuda swich in a IMAC 233 ? Thanks Marc Legare Please don't try to send me messages at my email address |

You probably need to install a firware update off the OS 9 Install CD - which means you probably have to install OS 8.x first, run the firware updater, then install OS 9.
