Three Part Question involving OS 9.2.1 & OS 10.4 on Wallstreet Powerbook

Please forgive me if there is already a topic on this particular issue. I looked, but was unable to find one.
NOTE: It was suggested to me that I post this question here, in large part because of a particular member who is a Wallstreet expert. So... here's hoping. :D
Last year I decided to purchase a Sonnet G4 Upgrade Card for my G3 Wallstreet Powerbook. Due to a variety of resons I won't bore you with, I ended up putting this particular project on the shelf while I was busy with other things.
Things have slowed down a bit and I want to get back to this project. One of the requirements for this card is that I be running both OS9 & OSX. Therefore, I have to install both OS's.
I have the OS 9.2.1 disk that came with my purchase of 10.1 when it first came out and the OSX v 10.4 Tiger disk that I bought last year. (FWIW I also have the OS10.1 disk and the 8.5, 8.6 & 9.1 disks.)
Now that you have the background information, here's my problem: It's been too long since I've done this.
So here's the 3-Part question:
1. Do I install both on one partition that takes up the whole 8meg disk or do I make one partition for each OS?
2. Which OS disk do I use for formatting & partitioning?
3. Which OS do I install first?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Wallstreet   Other OS  

eric,
1) If your HD is 8 GB, I don't believe you want to partition. As you may already know, the Wallstreet has a limitation when it comes to any version of OSX. If the HD is larger than 8 GB, then the HD must be partitioned: The first partition must be less than 8 GB and this partition is used for OSX, but this does not preclude installing 9.x. As the article below states, an 8 GB HD may be slightly larger than 8 GB depending on how the manufacturer sized it. Apple uses 1024K=1 MB vs. a vendor that may use 1000K=1 MB. Having said that, if you boot to the OSX CD and the destination HD is grayed-out, you will have to partition the HD.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106235
The problem with partitioning a small drive like yours is the wasted space...too much for OSX and not enough for 9.x or vice versa. Since I don't know what apps and files you will be using for both OSes, it is just simpler to have one volume. Both OSes can work quite nicely on the same volume; this is how apple shipped all their new Macs.
2) Either 9.x's Drive Setup or 10.x's Disk Utility can properly initialize the HD: Use the MacOS Extended Format (HFS Extended); if using Disk Utility, be sure to check the option to install the MacOS 9 HD Driver; if using Drive Setup, it is installed automatically.
3) I would install 9.x first; make sure everything is up to snuff before installing 10.x. However, either OS can be installed first.
A few suggestions...
- Since you probably have the original 8 GB HD, I would boot to your 9.x CD > open Drive Setup in the Utilities folder on the CD > go to Initialization Options > select 'zero all data' > initialize (no partition and HFS Extended). This will thoroughly clean the HD and force sparing (reallocation) of any bad blocks. After zeroing, select Test Disk and make sure it is OK. I suggest using Drive Setup since it has the Test Disk function...Disk Utility does not. Once Drive Setup is launched, Drive Setup Help is available in the menu bar.
- Once the HD has been prepped, I would boot to your OSX CD and make sure the 8 GB limit does not affect you. If it does, you will have to think about a very small partition to get under the 8 GB limit or larger partitions for each OS. As long as you are booted to OSX, you can go ahead and install it if you wish.
- If you do install OSX first, to install 9.x you must boot to the 9.x CD and select Clean Install. Also, when installing any 9.x software, boot into 9.x first...do not install when running in Classic.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106294
- If you want to run your 9.1 as Classic when booted to 10.x, update it to 9.2.2; this will give you the best compatibility.
- The Wallstreet natively supports up to OSX 10.2.8, but 10.3.x and 10.4.x can run if you use XPostFacto.
http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/
- Since Tiger came on DVDs and not CDs (unless you used the CD-exchange program), you will not be able to install Tiger on the Wallstreet from your optical drive if you don't have a DVD-ROM drive. I installed Tiger on my Wallstreet by removing the HD, placing it in a FireWire HD enclosure, then connecting it to my iBook and installing Tiger.
- You can save HD space (about 1.5 GB) by performing a custom install of OSX; here is a sample for Tiger:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301229
- How much installed memory do you have?
I covered a lot of ground here so feel free to ask any questions.

  • Two part question 1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat?

    Two part question
    1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo?  if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
    2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

    Hi,
    It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
    As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
    iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
    Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
    Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012  (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the

          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

    I need to edit out parts of a song to cut it down to two minutes for my daughter's talent show. I went to info/start time and it will cut down one part but only one part. I need to put three parts together. I tried adding duplicates of the song to the list but if If I change the start time on one it will change it on all of them.

    In your library, right-click the song you want to edit.
    select "get info".
    go to "options" and select the start and stop times for your first section of the song.
    click "OK".
    Find the shortened version of the song in your library. It may take a minute for it to show up. right click it again and select "create (????) version". (the ???? is different for different formats).
    The library will spit out a new, second version of the song which you can rename. I suggest you use the original title and add a 1 to the end.
    Now you can go back to the other version and repeat the process with a different  start/stop time.
    Once you are done editing, you can burn all of your versions to a disk, just make sure your interval time is zero so there are no gaps between edits.
    To keep the orginal song on your library, just go back to the original and put the start/stop times back to the original settings.

  • Why don't my three security questions  work?

    I am trying to download from the store and asked to complete the three security questions. I did so, but one answer is rejected. The question is what  was the name of you first pet...my answer ( e.g Rover), the rejection response ... your date of birth must  be between 1880 and  2010. I have tried to pretend that  my first pet was called 1990 but the same "red ' message appears. now i cant download anything from the store. Any help? I have tried numerous times to no avail.
    Frustrated right now! Any help would be appreciated

    Use the wall power adapter and charge it for half an hour.
    After that do a

  • HT201303 The Itunes store constantly asks me to Improve Apple ID Security by adding three secret questions but won't accept my valid password.  I have tried to reset the password, update the billing info and it still won't let me make any purchases.

    The Itunes store constantly asks me to Improve Apple ID Security by adding three secret questions but won't accept my valid password.  I have tried to reset the password, update the billing info and it still won't let me make any purchases.

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • Three security questions are not processed

    I am prompted to enter three security questions upon which I am not allowed to proceed because my year of birth is wrong. Yet nowhere in the system is there a place to write in or correct year of birth. How do I fix this?

    I am having the same problem.  I know I have never answered any security questions in the past.  They came out of nowhere when I got another Apple device.  I called tech support and they were not helpful at all.  I can still download paid apps to iTunes on my computer and transfer them, but I cannot download apps directly to my device.
    By the way, I think this came about because of the Wired tech writer that was hacked when someone hijacked his apple account, among other things, by simply calling up Apple and having the password reset.
    Anyway, if you find a way to resolve the security questions issue, I would love to hear the answer. 

  • Why does the App Store keep telling me I've got to set three security questions? And how do I Make them?

    Every time I try to download a new app, a pop-up comes up telling me to set three security questions. And when I try to set them using the provided link it takes me to a page and keeps asking for my password even after I enter it in multiple times. So, is there another way to set my security questions or is there a way to just get rid of the pop-ups? Thanks.

    This is for additional security to protect your Apple ID.
    Try setting your security questions for your Apple ID with a browser on your computer instead.

  • This is a two part question about the creative 16gb Zen?

    8This is a two part question about the creative 6gb Zen? First of all, my battery life dropped very suddenly. One charge I was getting the full 30 hour battery life and the next it dropped to under ten. I tried using their tips on how to extend the battery life and I am still getting less than 0 hours of battery life. Why would it dropped more than half the amount between charges? I tried recharging it after it ran out and still the same thing. Any help?
    Second, (I am adding this question because it might relate to the first in some way) my mp3 player has been behaving strangely lately. For example, some artists sometimes have letters removed or all but the first end up being removed. But, if you reset the player, the artists go back to the full name. Also, my player has been taking a little longer than usual to turn on. It takes about 30 seconds to turn on instead of the 5-0 that I'm used to. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
    My Zen is only 4 months old, and I would be very upset it it's breaking already. Please, if you have any suggestions on how I can fix what's happening, post them. (Even if they?probably won't work, they're worth a try.)

    < This is an unusual one; never heard of it before. All I can suggest is cleaning up and perhaps reflashing the firmware. If it still is doing this, then get the thing exchanged pronto.
    My guess is that the problems are indeed closely related.

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • After submitting answers to the three security questions it pops up that an error has occurred.  Anyone know how to fix it?

    In order to download any songs, apps, etc.  itunes prompts me to answer three security questions.  I answer the questions and then I receive an error - cannot make changes to your account.  Has anyone experienced this issue and if so how do I rectify it?
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    From Apple Support...
    Here are troubleshooting steps that should help you fix the problem.
    1) Quit App Store in multi-tasking.
    2) Tap Settings.
    3) Tap Safari.
    4) Tap Clear History.
    5) Tap the Clear History button.
    6) Tap Clear Cookies and Data.
    7) Tap the Clear Cookies and Data button.
    Try purchasing an app again from the device to get the security question prompt. You really need to set up the security question.

    I have a 2 part question,
    1.Does anyone know the difference in time and quality betwen HQ 90 Min. encode (4:3) and 90 Min. fastest encode?
    2. I seem to be having problems opening my encoded files in Quick Time but they open fine in DVD SP. I would like to save a copy in Quick Time as well. How can I do this?

    Best is two pass 6.2, and the other is one pass.
    What problems do you have opening the files?
    Are you trying to open the m2v files?
    Do you have the MPEG2 playback component?
    Thanks David,
    The reason I asked about the diffrences in the encoding in Compressor is I am doing a job that I am half way throgh and thought I may save a bit of time encodeing usig 90 Min. fast encode as opposed to the High quality encode. IF there is not much quality difference and I may save time I'll use it.
    I cannot open my compresspr file in QT (7.03) as everytime I try after a few seconds the computer says QT is not responding.
    If you can help it's appreciated.
