Does anyone know of a better File Manager for OS X.2? 

In case anyone else has this issue, I finally fixed it, I followed the instruction in this article: https://web.archive.org/web/20030202134714/http://docs.info.apple.com:80/article.html?artnum=106849 NOTES ---------- -> If OS 9 won't boot you might have to reset the motherboard or PRAM...

I just had this issue on OS X today and remember having it before but I don't know what causes it, it may not be a disk problem like I first thought. It's weird that Mac OS/OS X(at least older version of it) remember the exact location of files.

Oh and try other diagnostic software like TeachTool Light or Norton Utilities.

Is they a way to add an "Open Terminal Here" button to the Finder in OS X.2?

Interesting, you said you rebuilt the desktop, did you try a disk check? When you reinstalled OS 9 did you remove everything from the system folder? 

The big advantage too 8.6 is USB support, though I don't think your machine has USB by default? When I had a Promfoma 6400 I found 8.6 ran faster, weird. 

Has anyone written an easy to understand guide to OpenFirmware? 

I noticed that after I posted this question. That will work for me then :). 

I meant a GUI but I guess that works in a pinch. 

What is a good plain text editor for OS X(PowerPC)?

No, not really, it took me about 3 - 8 hours to backup things up(and  I skipped some things like the system folder that would not backup properly). I have spent an hour or less trying to fix it. I have had other things to do and was not waiting for a response. I only use these machines a few...

Yes, I used Gparted cause it saved the step of reinstalling Mac OS 9 and unstuffing my Stuffit Archives. The driver partition is still there but it might be incorrect. Do you think if I reverted the disk back to the way it was, it would work? I am finding OS X.2 is not that useful to me on that...

It could be the IDE cable I would think it would be the drive's power cable. Is they a manual eject?

Just in case anyone has any ideas on this issue, you can find my progress on it here: http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?pid=35453#p35453. 

I can't find anything before Mac OS X.4(at least with the search). I am trying to find Mac OS X.2.6. Apparently I need this before I get Mac OS X.2.8. I was able to find X.2.8 update and not X2.6.  UPDATE: Found a "combo update"...

Does anyone know about the Apple Partition Map, maybe Gparted needs to change something in one of the driver partitions in order for Mac OS 8.6 and 9 to see the drive?  

UPDATE: In case it helps, neither partition is visible in OS 8/9. 

UPDATE: Classic does run very well performance-wise but it still takes an extra minute or so to start OS X if all I want to run is OS 9 programs, also I have at least one game that won't run under Classic at all.  Also I am going to see if anyone on the GParted form knows what's going on but...
