I made the mistake of trying to use Xpostfacto to try and install 10.3 & 10.4 onto my
Beige G3. It was an unmitigated disaster and I ended up having to wipe the OS X drive
and reinstall 10.2 to get back to running again. I know other people have successfully
done this but for whatever reason I can't get it to go and i don't want to waste any more
time trying. The only remaining problem is that when I'm in system 9 and I want to boot into OS X, the start up disk control panel freezes and locks up my computer. Zapping the
PRAM is the only thing that cures it. But if you do a lot of booting back and forth between
System 9 and OS X this is a huge PITA. The start up disk freeze is a known issues with
Xpostfacto somewhere on my System 9 disk there's something that's causing this.
I've run the installer but this still persists. Can someone tell me how to solve this situation?? I would've asked on the Xpostfacto tech board but you have to be a registered
user in order to post and since this software didn't work for me, I have no interest in
paying to register it just so i can ask a question on how to completely rid my computer
of this program. I just want my beloved start up disc control panel to work again like it
used to. How do I do this???
TIA,
