How Do I Boot From External Drive In Os 9.2 On A G4?


Recommended Posts

I have a G4 with a bad internal ROM drive. I am currently running OS 9.2.

I would like to upgrade to OS 10.

I have an Iomega USB 2.0 external drive connected to my computer via the USB port in the back.

How can I boot from the disk in this external drive?

I tried holding "option"- it only found my regular hard drive.

I tried holding "cmd-opt-shift-del" but my mac got very confused and blinked a ? at me.

How can I boot from the external drive so I can upgrade?

Thanks

O.
