With CCC you could only copy a complete installation of Mac OS (any version) to a new (and preferably empty) partition. But the normal installation routine installs Mac OS 9 side-by-side with Mac OS X on the same partition. This cannot be accomplished via the CCC way. > 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. That's what he said he had done. In his own words (Lonnie wrote:) >> ... and, yes, the hard drive has the OS drivers installed ... > The MDD does not boot OS 9, whether its from a hard drive or a CD, > correct? Well, the original MDD does boot OS 9 from hard drive or optical (CD/DVD/?), but the newer FW800 doesn't (also refered to as MDD FW800, because of the look-alike). > So you cannot install from an OS 9 CD. The problem seems to be that he - Lonnie - cannot install from the Mac OS 9 CDs that he currently possesses (retail 9.2.1 and iMac 9.2.2). He apparently lost (or didn't purchase in the first place) the specific CD from the original disc set that came with the FW800.
