  • [OS 9.2.2] Bootable ZIP 100? Please help

    From Eric P.@ericp06@sbcglobal.net to comp.sys.mac.system on Sunday, April 09, 2006 16:27:33

    Hello,

    This is my second attempt to find help with this issue. I'd like to
    create a bootable ZIP disk to use as a utility disk for my G4/450. I had
    one that worked with 9.2.1, but it no longer boots since I updated my
    OS. I copied the same system components onto the ZIP that I previously
    had, but there must be some component of OS 9.2.2 that I'm missing, and
    I can't figure out what it is.

    If anyone can tell me what the minimum essential system software
    components are that I must have in order to make a ZIP 100 disk
    bootable, I'd be most grateful, as I much prefer to run my weekly
    diagnostics and utilities in that way.

    For e-mail response, please send to "thustar at yahoo dot com."

    Thank you and happy computing,
    Eric

    Why not just install the OS onto the ZIP disk with the installer?

    That's what I did some time ago to get a bootable disk image.

    Funny you should mention that...I just thought of doing so today, but it
    had to take a back seat to an ongoing issue between a game and my video
    sw that has, I believe, been resolved. I'll give it a try.

    Thanks,
    Eric
