Tank you Mr cardona for your help.

when I select get information on my harddisk,I have

Kind: disk
Format: MacOS standard
Capacity 19.07GB
Avaliable:13.79GB
used:5,28GB
where:imac,(ATA Bus devo,v3.2.8)

Is the format the one you are talking about, ie it should be
standard+?

If so. when I reinstall my OS 9.2, how do I reinstall it to +
standard?..I remember I just inserted the CD and it went on to install
on its own without my intervention.

Thank you once again
