Did OS 9.1 come on SAME install disk as OS X (10.0.3)?

Sorry, this is an embarrassing question..
I recently eBayed my old OS X system disk (v. 10.0.3). As I recall (and the manual stated) system 9.1 was included with the OS X system software so that one could still run the classic apps. Anyone know if 9.1 and OS X were on the SAME disk? I thought they were, but buyer is asking for 9.1 disks..
Thanks for your help!

The buyer is correct. Only starting with 9.2.2 in July 2002, did Mac OS 9 come on the same restore discs. Furthermore if your 10.0.3 didn't look like * it is designed only for use with the Mac in question labeled on your disc. A separate 9 disc was bundled with earlier Macs and in the Mac OS X 10.1.5 and earlier retail package.
Furthermore, hardly any Mac OS X software is designed to work with 10.0.3. Mac OS X really didn't come into its own until 10.2. 10.0.3 is more for a curiosity, than a functional version of Mac OS X.

  • Did my refurb PowerBook come with complete install disks or upgrade disks?

    The 12" PB I purchased in January came with 10.3.X installed but the included DVDs have 10.4. I have been using 10.3.9 until now and will want to upgrade to 10.4 in the near future. How can I tell if they are full install disks. The number on the disk is: 2Z691-5517-A. I'd like to know what to expect.

    The only discs which are not the full install say Upgrade or Update on them. Even those are capable of an Upgrade and Install and Archive and Install when it comes to 10.4. They can't install though on an erased drive Tiger directly, and need 10.3 installed first before they can install.
    Before upgrading, follow these tips:

    Macs which come with 10.7 preinstalled don't include install disks. Everything you need is either on Lion's recovery drive or the web.

  • My 2011 MacBook Pro 13 inch didn't come with an install disk?

    I opened up my MacBook Pro today as a christmas present. All was going well, until I wanted to do Boot Camp. Well, since the Windows support software download always starts to hang, (My internet isn't slow) I can't get the drivers installed. Windows is installed perfectly, however. I'm just really curious on why it didn't come with an Install disk.

    If you're completely computer savvy, here you go:

    You should also make yourself a USB recovery assistant first.

  • Use same install disk on two computers? (have 2 legal copies)

    Here's the thing: I have a MacBook Pro that came with Leopard and I also have another copy. I used the other copy (not the grey disks that came with the MBP) to re-install the OS on the MacBook. I have a Mac Mini on which I want to install Leopard. Can I use the same disk I used to re-install on the MacBook to install Leopard on the Mini? I'm planning on selling the Mini and I don't someone to get in trouble.
    Another question: Since the Mini only has 512MB RAM, would it be better to install Tiger?

    If you are selling the Mini with OS X installed, be sure to include the OS X install discs with it. Remember that the SLA forbids you from transferring the software license to another user unless you include the install disc(s).
    I recommend reinstalling Tiger on the Mini (if that is what came with it) and include the Tiger install discs with the sale. If you want to sell Leopard too you can try to upsell the buyer on it, or sell it separately to someone else.

  • Install disk 1 + wireless mighty mouse

    when i re-boot using install disk 1 the process comes to a stop when it comes to the graphic showing how to put the batteries in and switch on the mighty mouse,there is just the spinning disk at the bottom of the screen.after alot of trial and error i discovered that plugging in a usb mouse makes the process carry on as normal.also i discovered that clicking repeatedly the mouse button
    sometimes makes it carry on but not always.I usually have to revert to plugging in a usb mouse.I have tried the hardware test with "no trouble found" also the extended test is ok.The mouse works normally otherwise except maybe the tracking speed could be faster.I have it at max and i could do with another notch or two but thats another story.Also the range seems ok.it works normally up to 25 ft.Do you guys have the same behaviour as i do?
    macpro 2.66   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    did not solve the problem with the install disk. But if you are referring to the speed of the mighty mouse i tried "steermouse" and that solves the speed issue. Lets hope apple solves this one in the next update

  • Missing install disk on new MacBook Pro 15"

    I just received a new MacBook Pro 15" from CDW.  There were no install/operating system disk's with the computer.  In the past my other mac's have come with the install disks.
    Is this a new procedure for Apple?
    I searched for discussions and on the internet but can not find a concise answer for this.

    Look under the Apple menu for your OS X version, if it's 10.6.x then your missing your disks and you need to get them, either from CRW or Apple using your serial number.
    If it's 10.7 then it's Lion and it doesn't come with disks, a recovery partition that requires a strong reliable fast internet connection to download and reinstall it.

  • MacBook Pro Install Disks

    I recently purchased a 13.3" MacBook Pro running OS X Lion and it didn't come with an install disk.  How can I go about obtaining one in case somethings happens to where I need it?

    You can't as new Macs restore from the internet:
    OS X Lion- About Lion Recovery
    Computers that can be upgraded to use Lion Internet Recovery
    It is possible to create your own USB installer. This requires some effort on your part. Start with this article:
    Downloading Hardware Specific Lion Installers
    Once you have managed to capture the download:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.

  • Macbook Pro (Oct11) - Where's the install disk?

    Does the new Macbook Pro (Oct '11) come with an install disk? My DVD envelope is empty.

    Lion does not come with an install disk. If you need physical media for backup, you can buy Lion in an flash for $69 from an Apple Store. I do not reccommend doing so however, since the hidden Lion recover partition is good for that as well. Just hit cmd+R during startup or Alt and select "Recovery HD" to boot from. Then you may choose from a variety of options to recover.
    If you want to install Windows, however, his is no replacement. You need a Snow Leopard install DVD. Apple still sells it for $29, if I'm not mistaken.

  • Using Windows Install Disk

    This is probably a stupid question, but I have not used a PC in a while.. Can I use the same install disk as the one my wife used on her PC? Or not because of the serial encryption...any help would be appreciated. I just don't want to shell out $200 for an OS.

    EDIT:
    Below the wrong reply I was composing, before I learned the news (thanks Red Dwarf)
    and after I recovered from syncope...
    Sorry for the confusion.
    Hi jgraphix,
    Windows and Mac OS are completely different operating systems, that cannot be installed on the same machines.
    There is no way you could achieve such installation.
    I don't understand why you would do that?
    If you need to reinstall Mac OS X, which is a better OS anyway, just use the install DVD that came with your computer?
