Is the external drive you're using a usb one? If so, try this. The internal drive's lens might be in need of cleaning. You can try one of those cd/dvd cleaning disks but the best way tends to be opening the drive up and using a cotton swab.

I tried the external usb drive and the same old thing and it works on my PC just fine.

It's been a while since I had to boot an open firmware based Mac off usb, but last time I tried using that command in that link and it worked fine. Are you using the offical 9.2.2 or the modified later 9.2.2? If memory serves I had a bit better luck with the later unofficial 9.2.2 with updated drivers.

And whenever I tried to boot using the standard mac os 9.2.2 universal install and enter the needed commands, it yields back that it cannot open some hd.

What program are you using to burn the disks with? When I had to burn a 9.2.2 disk I used Imgburn and it worked well and all the macs I've tried it on since then took it no problem.

I used AnyBurn and TransMac. So far I am still stuck with the flashing icon and folder.

I'd say try re-burning the 9.2.2 disk if you can with ImgBurn. Also if you happen to have a working spare IDE optical drive of some sort you can replace the one and see if that works a bit better, it'll take any IDE optical drive as long as you set the jumpers to cable select.

I should likely get one with a few other parts in the mail later. Though right now this whole thing is just frustrating and has left me at a loss.

When you tried the internal drive, did you hold down the c key as it was booting? It's been a while since I worked on my own b&w but I believe to get it to boot from a cd even on the internal drive you have to hold down c as you're powering it on for it to. Otherwise it'd be worth it to wait for a new optical drive to rule it out.

I held down the C key and nothing…

I can drag in my own b&w tomorrow and see if there's any quirks about it usb booting or not if you'd like. I believe the biggest difference between the first and second revision boards is the ide controller so it shouldn't matter which version for usb booting.

Very well. Cause at this point I hope the computer does not have some sort of defect. I am using an 8 gigabyte CF card adapter.

Also I ordered a rev 2 board to see if that would remedy the problem.

UPDATE: I found the problem that was giving me such an issue for booting an OS this entire time; it was the CD drive and once I swapped out another CD drive with another, BOOM! It boots up from the CD without any fus.
