Re(2): MacGroup: Panther and Classic on a new hard drive
When I double click an OS 9 program I get a message that says Classic can not find an OS 9 System folder to use. I just checked and do not see any option for installing an OS 9 on any of the three OS X install disks. When I formatted the drive I THINK I installed the OS 9 drivers but I'm not sure. I guess I'm going to have to go back and reformat and reinstall everything. Unless you or someone else has a better idea. Thanks.

Have you tried to install Classic from the OS-X install disk rather than the 9.1 CD?

Re(2): MacGroup: Panther and Classic on a new hard drive
To install Classic, find the disc called Additional Software Apple Hardware Test. Double-click on Install Extra Software. This should get you to the instruction screen for installing Classic. What you have mentioned about installing the OS-9 drivers is important if you are doing the older dual boot method on older Macs that allowed you to start up in O.S. 9.x (obviously yours does :^).)

Re(2): MacGroup: Panther and Classic on a new hard drive
Hi all - this classic topic brings up a question. I'm a newbie with a G4 ibook running OS X. I too have a program I would like to install that says it needs OS 9. Do I have to partition drive to install it. Or do I just put in the disc Jerry mentioned and install away?

Re(4): MacGroup: Panther and Classic on a new hard drive
I don't have a disk called Additional Software Apple Hardware Test. My panther set came with 3 install disks and a Mac OSX XCode Tools disk. None of which have OS 9. I do have the iBook software restore disks. Should I try that?

Have you reinstalled the email program, or checked to see if other programs have the same result?

MacGroup: 9.2.2 and file sharing extension
Using Eudora v. 4.x, which I don't remember re-installing, but the computer crashes e.g. when stuffing a file while copying other files. My hypothesis: any time two programs access files simultaneously, it crashes. Crashing when opening e-mails with attachments fits this (doesn't it?), because the attachment triggers a 2nd program to open it.
