You can certainly install OS 9 after OS X.
Can this be done only if the hard drive is, or has already been, partitioned? I had always been under the impression that OS 9 had to be installed first.
This question came up because the media lab where I work just bought seven new G5s and I was asked about this. The question was moot because upon looking at the contents of the hard drive, OS 9 was already there. (I assume since there was only one hard drive icon, that it hasn't been partitioned AND this both had already been installed by Apple.)
On a related note, does Apple install OS 9 on all new machines? There were restore disks for OS X, but they didn't supply any for OS 9.
Seven new beauties and I snagged a couple of the shipping boxes! I hate seeing these end up in the garbage! I'll have some new furniture from them!
