Title: OS9 keeps crashing?WTF? Post by: Flame on 7.5.5 on November 22, 2002, 10:15:46 pm Whenever I switch to os9, my comp seems to work, then when I open somehting java or something like that, it crashes. Then when I restart it, theres a litle folder with a question mark on it. So here I am, waiting 4 hours for TechTool? Deluxe to finish fixing my harddrive. Any ideas why it keeps crashing? I do have a lot of time to kill?

IF you getting the questionmark at startup that usualy means that your system folder can't be found. Get the cd that came with the computer and boot from that by holding the C key down at startup. Make sure you have the system folder named correctly. Then go to startup disk and choose your system folder (if you see it) and reboot. If that doesn't work lay down the reinstall.

Title: Re:OS9 keeps crashing?WTF? Post by: Jeb on November 23, 2002, 10:57:42 am well the good news is that your hd shows up, the bad news is that your hd does sound fucked up. Sometimes its just best to reformate your worries away, but then you loose all of your porn, porn site passwords, modded unis files, and blackmail pictures of cringe.
Try getting tech tool to fix it, and if that fails reformat. You might want to look into a utilitie called "diskwarrior" which basicaly makes sure the HD doesn't fuck up.

Deluxe, but I really wanna know WHY it keeps crashing like this, but only on os9, not ever on jag.
