> Wondering about trying "erase and install". Will that erase ONLY > THE PARTITION I'M INSTALLING ON. Does anyone know FOR SURE? I installed Jag that way just recently without erasing the other partitions. But I'm wondering what's keeping you from killing everything on the drive, and start from scratch? I mean, having all that trouble I'd just backup all my files (from sys 9), reformat the drive and see if that helped. I wouldn't trust an installation of whatever system on a drive(formation) that created that much trouble. /Peer
