I knew that Macs will only install machine specific OS discs but I didn't know at first that my eMac would only boot 9.2.2. I bought a 9.2.1 system disc-no help. Now I go to find an eMac 9.2.2 installation disc. Thanks, everyone, for the help. I don't post questions or answers to the list often. I learn a lot from the other posts and by the time I find something I can answer, y'all beat me to it. Again, thanks Fred
