| [FAQ] - Boot Mac into OS X after changing startup disk from 9.0 Hi, I have a G4 Quicksilver and have been booting into OS 9 for about a year now as on of the programs I use only works with 9. Today, I got the latest upgrade for this program that works with OS X. So I Went into my Preferences and changed the start-up disk from the Mac OS 9 system folder to the Mac OS X system folder. When I restarted, I got the grey screen with the large apple icon and nothing else. I tried rebooting again - same thing. I have now tried all the options for restart, I can only get it to start up looking for a fire wire device or start up using a CD. I've tried using the Mac OS X CD to boot with but all I can do in that is install OS X or use disk first aid (which has had no effect). I don't want to risk re-installing OS X as I don't want to overwrite any of my files on the computer. There must be some way to get it to boot into OS 9 again, or I'll just have to run the risk of re-installing X. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

| NM, I booted onto the Mac OS X installer disk, re-installed it and all works ok now. |
