Re: Need to install both Classic and OS-X on old iMac's new hard drive, but how?

Thanks, Yersinia, but that option, to install the OS 9 drivers, is not offered by the Disk Utility that is on the Tiger Installer. So I dug around in my old disc collection and found a 10.1 installer disk, but discovered on starting up with it that it has no Utilities menu on it at all. It cannot

Re: Need to install both Classic and OS-X on old iMac's new hard drive, but how?

Thanks, Yersinia and Taner. Well, I can start the old iMac up with the 10.4 installer disk, and then use its Disk Utility to format the new drive, but no matter how I try it (either Erase or Partition), I am not given any option to install any OS 9 drivers. It just doesn't offer that option. Am I

Re: Need to install both Classic and OS-X on old iMac's new hard drive, but how?

hi... you can simply startup with tiger DVD and split your HD into two partitions using disk utility. i'm not sure but i think it could be necessary to book a part that is smaller than 128 gb's for classic. as you partition your HD it no matter which OS you install first... On Oct 1, 2009, at

Need to install both Classic and OS-X on old iMac's new hard drive, but how?

My mother-in-law, an elderly and stubborn lady (though nice) refuses to give up her old 1 GHz iMac (the half-soccer-ball novelty with the little monitor-on-a-stem sticking out of it) even though it dates from the Jurassic Period of computing and we all keep telling her she'd be better off with a n
