Installing 9.2 with 10.4.6 already installed

Hey guys,
I just purchased a new processor from WOC http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEG42M1500/
and because of its requirements I need to install OS 9.2 on the same disk that already has 10.4.6. Presently I don't have OS 9 installed at all and I dont have the 10.4 disk with me anymore. I do have an original OS 9.1 install disk and my original Power Mac G4 OS 9 Install disk (grey) as well if that'll work plus the 10.2 - 10.3 install disks.
After reading this page
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh763.html
I tried to install OS 9.2.1 but my only option during the install setup was to do it on my secondary storage drive, not the main drive where I need it. Is it a problem that I have File Vault active on my main drive?
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here and should I be concerned that once installing OS 9 on my main drive it will screw up/erase any part of 10.4.6?
These are the questions I ask and await your godly response.
thanks/e
Power Mac G4 400MHZ - soon to be 1.5 GHZ   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

I don't know about "godly" response. "It's against my programming to impersonate a deity." (thus spoke C3PO in "Return of the Jedi").
Anyway, if you need to boot into Mac OS 9 on the hard drive, which is frequently the case for firmware updates which need to be applied in Mac OS 9, you need to install the Mac OS 9 drivers. I would repurchase the retail 10.4, as that's necessary for troubleshooting 10.4 issues. Assuming the last time you installed Mac OS X, you erase and installed, your problem is going to be the fact that automatically the drivers for Mac OS 9 are not installed. I would clone your system to an external hard drive as my backup FAQ says:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
And if necessary erase, apply the Mac OS 9 driver installation, and restore the system you cloned. Be sure to have at least two clones, in case the first fails.
Here is the article on how to install the Mac OS 9 drivers:

  • Getting this error while opening a folder : This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel

    Hi,
    While trying to open a folder on my Windows 7 Home Premium, an error comes "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
    action.  Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." I tried searching on the net but did not get great support for the issue when it happens with folder opening.

    Hi Nikunj Shah,
    First, I suggest you download
    Microsoft Safety Scanner or
    Malicious Software Removal Tool to run a full scan.
    The error messages here seems to be caused by the corrupted registries, which related with the folder association.
    You may take a try to merge the following registry settings to reset the folder association, before that, remember to backup your registry settings first:

    You are posting in the "icloud on my mac" forum, but your profile mentions Windows.  If using a mac, you need to have iphoto or aperture installed in order to receive new photos via photo stream.  If using windows, try posting in the iCloud on a PC forum.  You'll get better help there.

  • Trying to install an application "A newer version is already installed"

    Hi, I'm trying to install some Canon utilities. Specifically I'm trying to install DPP (Digital Photo Professional) and the EOS Utilities and I get an error that says the same version is already installed or that a newer version is already installed. Now, that's all fine and dandy if it were not for the fact that these applications are NOT installed. I GREPped the System Folder, and Library folder as well as user folders looking for instances of "Digital Photo Professional", "EOS Utility", etc but nothing really shows up.
    I've run the periodic scripts. I've cleared the caches in the Library, and System folders as well as individual user caches. I'm stumped. Any suggestions?
    Cheers, Joe

    Go into Hard Drive->Library->Receipts and delete whatever you got that is iMovie related.

  • Videoweed say i have to install adobe flash player 11 but i already installed it in IE10

    videoweed say i have to install adobe flash player 11 but i already installed it in IE10 and all the video are working except videoweed and nosvideo, what can i do

    I'm having the same problem. Was working fine yesterday, was watching videos half the day. Gone onto various sites today and I keep getting the same message:
    To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.0 or greater is installed.
    Tried pretty much all the advice online regarding what normally happens when flash player won't work, to no avail. Now I know I'm not the only one.

  • Safe to install iTunes 6 with stand-alone QT already?

    I'm buying my first iPod tomorrow (5th Gen iPod if you must know) so I guess I will have to install the newest version of itunes. Is it safe to install iTunes 6 with my standalone Quicktime 7.0.3 already installed?

    what a party pooper!
    OH-HUSH, of course there are many instances of problems here. That's what this board is for. hodge is just moaning because he can't actually communicate well enough for anyone to help him. Sure he's been "noticed". He also isn't being helped all that much. So pay him no heed.
    I've installed iTunes6 on 6 XP computers and a virtual computer running on my iBook using Microsoft's Virtual PC (lets you pretend you have an XP machine to remind you why you bought a mac). None, and that's an important word, NONE of them have had an issue since I installed iTunes in Oct. 2003. There was one hardware conflict that I sorted out myself (it had been causing issues with other apps before I installed, so it doesn't really count), but all the other computers...absolutely fine.
    If I extend that the the large circle of folks I know who use the application, not a one of them has had a problem either.
    The bottom line is this: there a a vanishingly small number of folksin the the entire user base who have an issue. Most of them refuse to admit it could be an issue with their own PC, so Apple can't really do anything to fix the issues. The overwhelming majority (and by overwhelming, I mean over 99%) have no issues whatsoever. Of the remainder, most issues can be solved by changing a setting. Of the remainder of the remainder, there is a known hardware or software conflict that can be addressed and solved.
    That leaves well under one percent who are not helpable. And most of them would be if they could get over themselves and actually participate in the help process.
    Yes, hodge has been noticed. He's also been notified, and probably is on notice that his little rants are about to get him nulified. You choose to whom you will listen: him (here since dec 9, 2005; hasn't helped a soul; can't even help himself) or the rest of us (some here since Oct, 2003; thousands of success stories to cite; can fix problems on our own computers)
    Sorry he found your post. This really is a helpful place.

  • Visio 2010 Stardard install error on Windows 8.1 with Office Pro 2013 already installed

    Both Visio and Office are 64bit. Visio gives "The language of this installation package is not supported by your system". Tried the LIS "CacheOnly" suggested on a few sites. Causes Installer boot segment fault. Any ideas? Suppose we have
    to uninstall Office, install Visio, re-install office? Afraid that will jack up my activations count. Assuming the issue is newer Office is causing the problem.

    Hi,
    For the error message, the issue may be caused by some reasons.
    The Visio 2010 installation source was damaged.
    The installation source for the language pack did not contain all the necessary files.
    Please try the following methods:
    1.Change an installation source.(Click
    here to re-download)
    2.Extract all sv-se files necessary for the language pack installation and installed the language pack successfully.  
    3.Unzip the installation source and double-click the setup.exe to install.
    If we had tried the all above methods, we need to try that uninstall Office, install Visio, re-install office.  It’s important to always install earlier versions of Office first.

  • Problem installing Acrobat 9: "more functional product is already installed"

    When trying to install Acrobat 9, a message says that a more functional product is already installed.
    I believed this issue was due to the Adobe Acrobat 11 PDF creation utility which was installed with FrameMaker 12. I therefore deinstalled FrameMaker 12, because I believed that the Adobe Acrobat 11 PDF creation utility would be removed as well. However, the issue persists.
    Currently, only Adobe Reader XI, FrameMaker 10, and the ExtendScript Toolkit are installed.
    I'd be grateful for any help how to solve this.

    Problem solved!
    After I ran the Acrobat Cleaner tool, the Adobe PDF Creation Add-On XI was now displayed in the Control Panel > Programs and Features list. (No idea why it wasn't available there in the first place.) So in the end I could remove this utility and install Acrobat 9 without issues.
    Thanks again to Bill who put me on the right path. :-)
