Well, I could be wrong, but I think that this computer doesn't support 9.0 get a 9.1 or .2 cd and try again. Do you have a firewire drive with a system on it? The computer should boot from the first syst it finds. Do you have disc Warrior? you should be able to boot from that. Also, if the keyboard doesn't work for booting from the cd, try an Apple keyboard. Just some thoughts Good Luck Ron-- > > Hey Y'all > > I recently snagged myself a G4 MP "Mystic" complete > with a Macally iKey keyboard and optical mouse.

On restart, I held down the "c" key to start from the dvd drive and got nothing.
