Hi there,
It's been such a long time since my last visit around here... It's a pleasure to be back! I haven't spent time with my collection in years, but it's changing. I'll have to hang around here more often soon!
I need a fresh system for an iBook FireWire. I just burned a couple of Mac OS 9.1 install disc from DiskCopy 6.3 and Toast images I had in my archive. The disc burned from the Toast image wasn't bootable. The disk burned from the DiskCopy 6.3 image booted to the Finder, then complained that the Desktop Folder was locked. As far as I know, both images were made from a retail CD-Rom, but I can't be 100% sure.
I managed to do my clean install from another machine with the iBook in Target mode. But for future reference, what's the best way to create a bootable CD from DC63 and/or Toast images? Or what's the best way to make those images bootbale? Those are things I knew back in the day, but sadly my memory fails me. My main machine is a Mac running Mojave, and I have access to several Macs running flavors of classic Mac OS and early Mac OS X.
