Default Re: New DP G4s - No OS 9 Boot - want to get a Digi 002 - HELP PLEASE

part2:The second method doesn't rely on the safety net of a bootable OS 9 CD and requires a second, preferably external, hard drive. First, make a copy of the OS 9 System Folder (part of the original installation, or what you get when you use the Restore discs) on your second hard drive — remember, the OS 9 system folder is called System Folder, while the OS X system folder is just called System. Boot up from the OS X CD by holding down the C key, and use the Disk Utility that's available from the OS X installer menu to format and partition the system drive, making sure you tick the 'Install Mac OS 9 drivers' option.

Install OS X into its partition, copy the OS 9 System Folder copy (on the external drive) into its two intended partitions, and finally delete the Classic support files from one of these as detailed above. Note that if both OS 9 systems become unusable and require replacing, you hopefully backed up that copy on the second drive or, more prudently, gave the Apple Store a ring in the meantime!

As mentioned above, reformatting the system drive in this way will require the reinstallation of applications and the restoration of data, and should be only attempted if you're very keen on keeping the Mac OS 9's extension set under close supervision. I've run my iBook 600 with 9.2.2 and 10.1.5 for over a year with no real problem, despite the large amount of software and other files that litter its hard drive. However, when I finally move this particular machine over to 10.2.3 and start to use OS X for music on a more regular basis, I'll probably run two OS 9 partitions for peace of mind, unless, of course, I decide to dispense with it altogether!
