To Clarify my intentions: I have OS X on a Yosemite. I have been unable to install Classic or OS 9. I want to clear the X off the partitioned 80 gig hard drive and install OS 9.1 or 9.2. I know nothing about OS X and I have nothing to run on it. There is nothing else on the hard drive except X and all the other things pertaining to X.

I don't think you want to wipe the drive if it is the only one, or the one with the OS on it. Your computer will not start up without an OS or at least the optical drive drivers on board. You can boot from an OS CD or DVD (in the case of Tiger), and initialize the drive and install a new OS if that's what you want to do, but you will lose everything on the HD and have to reinstall the OS. You need to be a bit more clear about your intentions, what you actually want to do. All the best, Ken N. >> -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
