BootCD boots on G4, but not on Powerbook G3?

MacGuyver · 09-29-2003, 03:17 PM

I made a boot cd using BootCD. The problem is that it won't boot up on my Powerbook G3, but works fine on my desktop G4. Other CD's boot fine from the Powerbook G3. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark.

P.S.
Boot CD is shareware friend of the above Author.

Generally What you did should work that is Newer build should boot older but not necessarily the other way around. For fun did you try making one from the G3?
