Installing OS 9.1 After OS X 10.2
Name: nseawater Date: January 23, 2004 at 15:09:14 Pacific OS: MAC X 10.2 CPU/Ram: PowerMac G4
Comment:
I've just performed a clean install of the OS X 10.2 - now I'm trying to install OS 9.1 to run software programs that requires the classic installer. How can I install the 9.1 over the 10.2? Or, is there a way to install software programs, that requires the classic installer, without the installing the 9.1 OS? If so, how?
Any help is greatly appreciated.. THNX>>> NSeawater
Ohh yes... The Mac PC is a Power MAC G4 - sorry for asking this question... I'm a Windows guy.

Why is it that the Drive Setup, under the utilities folder, can not list the hard drive. It only list the CDROM. I've tried running the first aid, under the utilites folder, that too can not see the 75 GIG hard drive. but when running the OS X install, it can see the Hard drive. Is the hard drive too big for the OS 9.1 install CD to recognize?

Could be the partition is unsupported by OS9. You might have to initialize it before OS9 will see it.
