Your problem is that you haven't reformatted the HD to Apple Partition Format, it's still Master Boot Record partition format. In Disk Utility, highlight the HD itself, and then under Options select Apple Partition Format. Then select however many partitions you want, and size them accordingly. You probably only need a few GB for OS 9, and honestly you don't actually even need a separate partition for OS 9, it can reside on the same partition as OS X and still be dual bootable via the Option key boot. In most cases OS 9 runs faster as Classic emulation under OS X than it does natively booted. The only reason to boot OS 9 rather than run as Classic would be special hardware that lacks any OS X support or drivers. Almost all printers, scanners, and other standard hardware are still accessible from Classic. -- -- 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.
