If not able to use another Mac to transfer via CCC a copy of OS 9, then as Kris suggested, this should be the only route. You need to have partitioned the hard drive and use the Install OS 9 drivers option, before you could possibly use an OS 9 partition as Classic. The MDD does not boot OS 9, whether its from a hard drive or a CD, correct? So you cannot install from an OS 9 CD. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
