I installed the Iomega Zip drive software and now my G4 Mac boots into 9.2, I can't figure out how to get to OS-X again.
Thanks in advance.

Go to the Apple menu in the upper left corner of the Finder.

Choose Control panels > Start up Disk.

Then click on the volume with OS10 on it or navigate to the OS10 system folder if both systems are on the same voluem. Click the OS10 system filder and hit the "Restart" button.

You can also reboot the Mac and hold the X key down until you hear the startup chime for a second time

Or.. hold down the option key while the Mac boots up then pick which OS you want to continue booting into.

... You're turn Steven. :)

Thanks for all the tips, I am printing them out.

I appreciate the personal help and apologize for hogging the bandwidth on this forum. Seems like half the messages in the past 45 days are mine.

The option key trick only works if you have OS9 and OSX on seperate partitions. As I will do next time I reformat :D
