So I bought a copy of OS 9.2 and it should be here to morrow.
What I want to do is wipe the drive out and start scratch, but I've never installed two OS's on a mac before, only panther from scratch.
I've seen talk about partition sizes, which os should be first, etc., but I don't know the specifics.
Can someone give me a checklist of the steps to perform...with a little detail if possible.
For instance, how do I format the drive, will I be asked that during the OS 9.x installation? I mean I need to blow away the partitions, create new partitions and reformat. From where do I do this? I know this stuff backwards and forwards in windoze, but haven't done it yet in Mac.
Can OS 9.x delete a partition created by 10.x?
How big do I need to make the 9.x partition, I only want the mininum as I will only use it to boot into in order to repair the 10.x partition, etc. Plus I need it in order to run XPF to get panther to load in the first place.
Thanks in advance for any help to get me pointed in the right direction so I can get this laptop lined out finally.
