I think you may need to use the Restore disks, not the 9.2 disk. The QS2002 requires 9.2.2, as it was the last Mac to boot into OS 9. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Need help installing and booting OS9 on G4 Quicksilver 2002
This is do-able - I've got a QS & a QS 2002 - 800 (upgraded to dual 1.8) that I rebuilt and upgraded with no original software disks ... it's just I cannot recall now quite how I did it - and I did have bootable external HD's and removeable drives (2G Jaz) backups 1) read up and check on the partition scheme appropriate for booting OS 9 2) If you have access to second classic booting machine put the QS into target disk mode and connect by firewire - do the installs from the second machine ? keep us posted - it's a great machine - my hickey has been failing power supplies ... with maxed out machines - replacements can prove prohibitive.

Re: Need help installing and booting OS9 on G4 Quicksilver 2002
If memory serves, and it often doesn't, the install disks are machine specific. Might want to try a generic OSX disk that supports classic, ie Panther, Tiger, and use the OS9 folder and drivers included.

Need help installing and booting OS9 on G4 Quicksilver 2002
Hi I just bought a used G4 quicksilver 2002 power mac (this one: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/specs/powermac_g4_1ghz_dp_qs.html). I want it to boot from OS9, and I don't really need to run OSX. I thought this would be simple to set up, but apparently not. Unfortunately, I bought this used without any install CDs. For the seller's privacy, I wiped the hard disk by connecting the G4 via firewire to my OSX laptop, and using the latest disk utility. This wiped any OS9 drivers from the disk. The newer OSX disk utility would not let me install the OS9 drivers on the reformatted drives. There is no 'install OS9 drivers' checkbox. Two questions: 1. IF I can find a bootable OS9 installer CD, will it install the OS9 drivers automatically to the reformatted hard drive? Or, will it not be able to see the drive at all when it boots up? 2. I need help getting a bootable OS9 CD. I found several ISOs online that I burned to a CD using my OSX laptop. But none of ISOs appear to be bootable on the G4. I am stumped as to why this doesn't work. Here are the ones I have tried: - http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/power-mac-g4-quicksilver-2002-restore-discs - http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=2109.0 Anyone have suggestions?
