The iBook's hard drive may be corrupted. Try connecting it to your
PowerBook with FireWire Target Mode again, but even if it doesn't mount
on the desktop, see if it will show up in DiskWarrior or Disk Utility.
If it does, try doing a verify and repair on the hard drive and see if
it fixes any errors.

Hi,
I am used to this list so I would like to ask here even if my question
has
nothing to do with Cocoa, please, it's an emergency.
I am looking for a MacOS 9 boot disk but I didn't find it at the Apple
Developer Support web site. I am a ADC registered user, so I logged in
there
but I discovered soon that the section "Download Software/MacOS 9"
grants
only the update to the 9.2.2.
My problem is the following. I have my friend's iBook running MacOS
9.0.
I tried to connect my external FW disk to this iBook then it freezed
immediately and now it cannot boot anymore even disabling the
extension,
even rebuilding the PRam. I am far away from my city and I have
nothing with
me but my PowerBook G4 with MacOS X with "Panther" and "Jaguar + MacOS
9"
installed on two separated internal partions, an external FW disk and
some
cable.
The iBook cannot see nor mount nor boot from the FW disk. So I though
to
burn a bootable CD with my local Jaguar-MacOS9-System Folder. The iBook
didn't boot from the CD holding down the "c" key at startup. I burned
the CD
with Toast dragging the system folder to its console and I marking the
check-box "bootable".
Instead the iBook booted againg from the original and corrupted MacOS
9.0
then it freezed at the same point "Booting in progress").
Last I tried to boot the iBook holding down the "t" key in order to
activate
a Fire-Wire connection and remove the System Preferences from the iBook
System Folder working remotely from my PowerBook. But my PB cannot see
the
iBook volume (!).
So, I have still thought, if I had a bootable MacOS9 disk I could boot
the
iBook and fix its Pref folder.
Where can I download a MacOS9 system?
Or, how could I fix this never ending problem?
Many thanks in advance.
Best Regards
