How to get 9 on disk w/o drivers
CCC is not the only solution...you can just drag a 9 set up directly to your disk. Pull the system out of the system folder, drop it back in, you are set. Worked for me.

Once you have formatted the disk under OS-X's Disk Utility, it will no longer be recognized by older Disk Setups or by the OS-9 Installer on the OS-9 System CD without those drivers. I often look at my Jaguar partition from a pre-OS X source. So I would recommend installing the OS 9 drivers on all partitions. It certainly won't hurt. I made the mistake of not doing this when I installed Panther on my iBook. Now I can't install OS 9. I'd like to find some way around this, but I doubt that's gonna happen, and I'm not about to format my disc and start over again. It took way too long to do all the upgrades and install everything and get it all back like I wanted. JR -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I only have my drive set up as a single partition. Are you saying I can put my OS 9 disc in my CD drive and drag the OS 9 system folder onto my Panther disc and then use OS 9 from Panther? Would I then be able to boot into 9, or only use 9 from Panther as Classic? JR -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I put the OS 9.2.2 disc in the drive, then dragged the system folder from the CD to my Panther desktop. Then I went into System Preferences under Classic, and set this folder to be the system folder for Classic. But when I tried to start Classic, the OS 9 start screen came up, and I got an error message, The system software on the startup disc only functions on the original media, not if copied to another drive. Maybe there is something else I need to do, or I have to put the system folder somewhere else on my drive other than the desktop. JR -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: How to get 9 on disk w/o drivers
From: John A [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, I just tried this. I put the OS 9.2.2 disc in the drive, then dragged the system folder from the CD to my Panther desktop. The system folder you have copied is the minimal startup system needed to start up from the CD-ROM. You need to back up an installed copy of the system that contains all the system software necessary to do everything a Mac should be able to do. The system you've copied only contains enough software to install the system. Also, it looks to make sure it's being booted from the CD. Larry _ Tired of spam?
