Hi - I had to switch startup disk to OS 9.2(.whatever is latest) in order to run Quicktax and when I try to get back into OS X via OS 9's startup disk control panel, OS X does not appear as a choice. Ran TechTool Pro (latest version for OS 9) but I think that only made things worse - now the entire computer is write-protected so I can't even clean it up by treating it as a Firewire drive and using DiskUtility from another computer running OS X. Any suggestions before I erase the disk and reformat? terry Sarnia ON
