I have a 17" iMac 800 MHz which I purchased last fall. When I brought it home I noticed that Apple had set it up with one partition with both OS X and OS 9 on it. As I wanted to have both OS's on separate partitions I reformatted the HD and tried to install OS 9.x by restarted the computer holding down the C key. It stated it could not boot from my OS 9 CD. (in case it makes a difference the OS 9 CD came from an OS X update I purchased separately, not with my iMac) Is it because my iMac will not allow me to install OS 9 separately or is it because I am trying to install OS 9.1 (i think it i s 9.1 as I am not at my iMac right now. But I am sure it is not 9.2.2)
Any help on how I can install OS 9 separately on my main HD would be great as I have resorted to using my iPod as a firewire HD temporarily for OS 9 and for short duration use at the moment.
