How to install OS9 with OS X?

Okay, here goes. I got a Titanium Powerbook 400mhz from my sister, she gave it to me because NOTHING worked. So, I bought a used DVD-Rom drive, a used battery, and using Firewire Target mode, I wiped the hard drive and did a clean install of OS 10.3.9 with the DVD from my G5 tower. So, here's my question, can I simply install a copy of OS 9 onto the same drive without disrupting my current OS 10.3.9? I'd like OS 9 on there so my kids can play their games, the majority of which are OS 9. Any help would be great, thanks.

Yes, you can install OS 9 onto the same volume.  However, when you initially formatted the drive you had an option to install Mac OS 9 drivers.  If you did not choose that option then you can only use OS 9 through the OS X Classic emulator.  You cannot boot directly into OS 9 unless the OS 9 drivers were installed when the drive was formatted.
To install the Mac OS 9 drivers you would need to re-partition the drive which is a destructive process that will remove all the data currently installed.
There is afirmware update needed for your particular model.  The update must be installed while booted directly into OS 9.1 or higher.  You may want to check with your sister to find out if the update has already been installed.

  • How to install os9 on separate partition alongside os 10.3?

    Hi - I would like to know how to install os9.2.2 on a separate partition (with os10.3 on the other) so I can boot in REAL os9 (not classic) to use pro tools free which will not run on classic - (my old g3 I used this for has died) - I have recovered the hard disc contents and what I really want to do is just copy the entire 0s9 system (without having to reinstall it) to a partition - I know how to reboot the machine into os x (hold down x key during start up), but;
    1) - can I boot the os 9 partition and if so how?
    2) - will this work? - I remember someone telling me it was possible a few years ago, I just can't remember who -
    any help greatly appreciated
    Thanks!
    James

    Hi, l. No Aluminum Powerbook can boot into straight OS 9, so you'll have to a) use Pro Tools Free in Classic mode, b) get an older OS-9-bootable computer to run it on, c) buy the real Pro Tools to run on your top-of-the-line computer, or d) use some other application instead.
    No Mac has ever been able to boot into an older OS version than the one(s) that were installed on it at the factory.

  • How to install OS9 in OSX with OS9 disk?

    I just got a G4 with OSX installed and no disks I want to load OS9 for classic support with the OS9 disk I own. Do I need to do anything special to install? All the forums mention the OSX disk which wasn't included in the purchase I made. I don't suppose I could just copy the os9 system folder from my old computer and place it where it belongs in OSX ? Thanks for the help. CJ

    CJ:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.I don't suppose I could just copy the os9 system folder from my old computer and place it where it belongs in OSX ?Yes, you may. Andrew is right. I have done it many times and it works perfectly. The beauty of doing this is that you don't have to do all the updates that you would have to do if you installed from disk.
    The only concern I would have is whether Mac OS 9 drivers were installed when the disk was formatted for OS X. If they weren't, OS 9 would not work no matter how you installed. They very well might have been installed, though as DU usually has it selected by default.
    Good luck.

  • How to install PDF with XDB on APEX 4.2.2

    Hi,
    does anyone know a "how to install PDF Output" using XDB instead of Apache or APEX Listener on APEX 4.2.2 Please give me the link.
    I tried to install APEX Listener but I always got errors so I came back to XDB. If there is an easy way to install the Listener please send me the link.
    Thank you and best regards
    Siegwin

    i wrote an article about installing listener but then the latest version of listener at time was 1.x . check the following
    Vishal's blog: Installing SSL enabled APEX 4.1 with development environment and APEX Listener on Weblogic and standalone
    listener now is at 2.x and a few steps such as configuration of properties have changed. you no longer have to create users such as adminlistener and the listenerAdmin page isnt there anymore.
    read the above and tell me the exact problem you have and i might help you better.
    read Contents . this is oracle's documentation for listener configuration. this is good. let me know if you need some help in understanding some step in this
    once listener is configured, configuring it for pdf download is very easy.
    let me know if this answers your query in the current thread

  • Want to install OS9 with an external CD drive

    I have an eMac OSX10.4.11
    They internal CD drive has died and I'm using an external drive connect by firewire.
    I want to install OS9 but the computer doesn't recognise the external CD drive when I hold c and restart.
    Any suggestions please

    Besides the great advice from Limnos so far...
    Is your eMac capable of booting OS9? One of the 1GHz models couldn't, any after that couldn't, and the ones that could need the special Install Disc that came with them.

  • AS10GR1(INF+BI) + AS10GR3 - how to install - probelm with deploying appl..

    Hello :)
    I've got following configuration:
    MS W2003srv 2xXeon3.2GHz + 2GB RAM
    iAS10GR1(9.0.4) - Infrstructure
    and on the same machine
    iAS10GR1(9.0.4) - BI (Reports and Discoverer)
    Now I need to install iAS10GR3 (10.1.3) - because of Java 1.4.
    How to do it in the fastest way and assume that I can't reinstall iAS10GR1.
    When I install option with http server, opmn etc ...
    I've tested single installation of iAS10GR3 and I can deploy and test my WebServices. When I install Release 3 on the same machine with Release1 everything is ok - I can deploy webservices but I can't test them.
    I can prepare mesg to test via web page and in the invoking moment theres no action.
    In apache log of R3 there's
    10.10.1.18 - - [16/May/2006:17:18:51 +0200] "POST /WebServices/SRV_PLANY_ZAMOWIEN_STATUSSoapHttpPort HTTP/1.1" 500 5
    What could suggests that there is a problem with apache configuration (in fact thera 3 instances of apaches)
    However when I checked status of ports in every apache instance
    opmn\bin\opmnctl status -l
    I didn't notice that there's any ports conflicts - installer prepared ports quite pretty that they should coexists.
    Any suggestions?
    greets
    Pepin

    Hello :)
    First, I noticed that I posted a mesg at Portal forum .. if a moderator would by nice - move this topic to proper forum, please.
    And I configured succesfully ... however I made two things and I have to test it
    one more time - I installed a patchset2 to iAS10GR1 to version 9.0.4.2
    and I deinstall iAS10GR3 and choose an instaling option without http server.
    Now I can deploy and test webservices and every previous functionality (reports and discoverer) works fine ...

  • How to install SEC with OCMS version 10.1.3.4

    It is said that when install, select customer install and select SCE in install guide of OCMS, but actually when in install l progress, only allow to select component ,such as presence, proxy registrar. No entry for selecting SCE.
    How to install SCE and test example projects in SCE?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Firstly the SUBJECT of your question reads SEC in place of SCE and it is a CUSTOM install not a CUSTOMER Install.
    Coming to answer your question, if you find the latest install guide, you wont see the SCE pre and post install etc in it. SCE has been taken off OCMS. OCCAS (Oracle Communications Converged Application Server) will be the Execution platform of SIP from now on. OCMS Applications too would be merged into OCCAS.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • How to install OS9.2.2 on Titanium 867

    With fresh OS 10.4 install... When i boot from the OS9 CD it says this Software cannot run on this macintosh. When i go to install after booting in OS 10.4 Classic will not start and i cannot select the drive with OS 10.4 on it. It is the only drive on the laptop.
    How can i get system 9.2.2 on my Titanium 867

    It may be that you don't have OS9 drivers on your hard drive. The only way to install them is to reformat the drive. If all you want is Classic and don't need to boot into OS9 you can drag a System Folder from an external drive.

  • How to install patches with .bin extension

    I have downloaded Solaris_JDK_1.2.2_07_sparc.bin patches, but how can
    i install this ?? It is not like .tar.gz.....Help

    Hi,
    Did you download the patches or the JDK kit?
    Based on the file you said you downloaded it looks like you downloaded the whole JDK 1.2.2_07 kit. If you wish to install this all you have to do is download or move the file to where you want it to install and change the permissions on the file so you can execute it (chmod 755 Solaris_JDK_1.2.2_07_sparc.bin) then in a terminal just type:
    #Solaris_JDK_1.2.2_07_sparc.bin.
    This will install it for you. Make sure you update your path and any links that might be pointing to older versions of the JDK to the new JDK you just installed.
    If you it was the patches you ment to download the file you download should look something like "1.2.2_07_patches_sparc_OSVERISON.tar"
    to see what patches you have installed in a terminal type:
    #showrev -p
    To install the patches you need to extract the patch archives you wish to install. And then issue the following command:
    #patchadd -M <your_patch_directory> <patch-id>
    Please also consult the README files that come along with the patches as they might be of use to you also.
    Hope This Helps

  • How to install JDeveloper with GeoRaptor

    Hi,
    Until now I'm using SqlDeveloper with Georaptor. A fine combination. Specially for Pl/Sql-development.
    I want to explore JDeveloper and Spatial-data, for Web J2EE-development.
    Questions:
    Can Georaptor be combined with JDeveloper (and how)?
    JDeveloper has an OC4J pre-installed, as Mapviewer (demos) has too. How to combine these two OC4J-isntallations to one OC4J-installation?
    Any reaction will be appreciated.
    Leo

    Hi, GeoRaptor is extension of Oracle SQL Developer(http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html).
    And SQL Developer is not part of JDeveloper. I think it is not possible to install GeoRaptor to JDeveloper.

  • How to install 10gAS with RAM 1G ?

    Hi,
    The Oracle 10gAS (Infrastructure) installation stop me when my PC has only 512M of RAM. How can I overcome this? It's too expensive to have 1G of RAM just for a testing.
    In the same machine if I switch to use Linux, I can install 10gAS without any problems.
    Please advice.
    Pham

    A repository database and lots of other services will be created in the Infrastructure. Running this requires just about 1GB RAM. To that you've to add memory consumed by the OS and other programs which are running.
    Even if it worked installing on a PC with 512MB it must be very slow. Occasionally some services will hit timeouts etc.
    Testing under this enviroment doesn't really make sence.
    Regards,
    Martin Malmström
    PS. A 512MB DDR-RAM only costs $40-70. A days work is much more expensive (I presume)
