Sounds like the problem is more with the file than the drive ... If you try to copy the same info to another "regular" System 9 Mac, do you still have the same problem?

  Unfortunately, I only have one FireWire Mac in the house to work with. It still occurs if I try, however, to boot off of the 9 System folder on my X partition or if I try to boot off a 9 System Folder on the second partition (System 9.1 only).
  
  I am starting to suspect the problem is the hardware, as the hangs also occur when launching a very large file/process. I am wondering if either:
  1. The FireWire drive is faulty. Maybe I need to install new drivers to it.
  2. My Firmware is not at the right level. I thought I had upgraded prior to my X install, but I am now wondering if I used the right ones.
  
  Thanks again.
