Hi Kevin,

Try going into the 'System Preferences' icon in the Dock.  In the 'System'
bar, double click the 'Startup Dick' icon.  
You should see a series of choices of all the bootable volumes on your
computer.  Select one and your choice should 
be the new default OS the computer will boot into.

Jumpers shouldn't enter into it.  In the 'Disk Utility' utility application
try making sure that the drives are accessed via 
'Cable Select'.


HTH,


Jon

This is my first time making a post.

I'm also new at computers...

Anyway, I recently installed a second hard drive (160
Gig) Seagate.  It mounts on my desktop oaky, but, for
some reason my OS 9 system files "relocated" to my
second hard drive.  So now when I start up in OS 9 I
can only select Hard Drive #2 to get back to OSX
(10.3).  Only after I get to Hard Drive # 2 I am
allowed to select Hard Drive #1. (which is my  primary
Hard Drive with most of my data, at this time).

Why can't I go from OS 9 back to Hard Drive #1 without
going through Hard Drive #2?  How can I get my OS 9
system files back to Hard Drive #1?  Do I need to use
one of those jumpers or something?
