Okay. I *think* I know what your problem is. To use HFS+ you have to
reformat your HD, but this I believe must be done from a disc that contains
the full OS 8.1. You can not format the disk with an older CD, i.e. OS 8,
and then update it, once it is formatted, that's it. The OS 8 CD will
format the HD in the *normal* way. Using a downloaded updater will mean
that the HFS+ feature will not be able to work.

Once you have formatted your disc with an OS 8.1 CD, if you need to reboot
from a CD at some later stage, only the OS 8.1 CD will work.
