So you want to wipe out Mac OS X 10.4.x and install Mac OS 9 ?? If so you need a Retail CD with Version 9.0: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS... http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1293?...

✔ Best Answer

Mac OS CDs are usually machine specific (unless you buy a retail one).

No I'm going to keep the Tiger os and use the 9 os for a specific use. The mac is set up to use classic and Tiger, but need to install 9.1 before I can install the 9.2 Just need to know if a disk specify's the computer on it, if it is locked to that machine alone.

thanks ijack that is what I thought. Just didn't want to buy what I can't use.

Still confused OS X 10.4 includes Classic mode, so why do you want to dual boot OS 9.x and OS X 10.4.x ??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classi... http://www.creativepro.com/article/...

the computer tech didn't have the os to put into the classic section is what I was told. I have to install it myself. The computer itself told me I needed 9.1 to install 9.2 which I confirmed from others. I have an outdated program that will not work with osx. So I have to dual boot in order to use the program. Unless I've been told wrong by greedy geeks.

Unless I've been told wrong I don't think my program will work in the osx. Even though it is classic enabled. Can you tell me different? Thank you for the links too. I will read them.

Have you tried running the program in Classic Mode ??? If will not run you will need to Dual Boot as per article posted earlier..
