Greets!
This may probably sound kinda crazy. I had my last HDD on my G3/400
smurfie set up with a Panther installation Over a previous 9.2.2
installation, and it worked just fine until the HDD crashed due to
years of use and abuse.
I replaced it then with a 80Gb hdd in which I created a 15Gb system
partition for Panther, and the remaining space for storage purposes.
Now I want to install OS 9.2.2 again, in order to dual-boot it (plan
to use ProTools Free, which does NOT run under Classic mode
whatsoever) switching between X and 9 as needed, on the same machine.
I don´t want to lose the data I already have in there.
Can I simply install 9 without the erase option and it "would" just
love together with the existing X, as when I install X over 9? Or
should I erase the partition anyway in order to install 9, and then
reinstall X for them to live together happily?
I Tried to install 9 on a separate SCSI disc which I suspect is on
its final days since It randomly appears and dissapears between
boots... sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesn´t. Not much reliable.
I´d put another ATA HDD for 9, but a) The MoBo I currently have
installed is a somewhat-damaged Rev. 2 one, which simply will not
recognize anything on the second (UltraAta) port, and my "new" mobo
for Smurfie has just come, but it is a Rev. 1 and I am somewhat
afraid putting a second HDD would makee the whole thing unstable...
Any suggestions welcome!.
