Classic and Tiger HELP!!!
Hi, I have a iMac G3 running Mac OSX 10.4, and I would like to put on Classic, but I don't have a Classic System Folder... I have the original iMac OS9 CD's, but it doesnt seem to let me install Classic without installing OS9, then installing OSX again - which I dont want to do. The only solution I have found that suits me is get a OS9 Classic Folder from someone that already has Classic installed. The folder should be in your Root of your HD, for example Macintosh HD / System Folder. It should have a OS9 icon on it. Would anyone have a solution? Or a copy of the OS9 Classic System Folder they can zip and host on something like Rapidshare for me?

Re: Classic and Tiger HELP!!!
Po-en. The Classic environment allows you to use legacy apps that will only run under OS 9 on a machine running Mac OS X Tiger. The Classic environment requires that you install Mac OS 9.2 or later. See instructions here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh763.html Jim On Mar 20, 2009, at 8:21 AM, Beverly Woods wrote: Po-en Tsai wrote: Hi, I have a iMac G3 running Mac OSX 10.4, and I would like to put on Classic, but I don't have a Classic System Folder...

Are you sure you can't just install OS 9, leaving the other contents of the disk, including OS X? Other thoughts: OS 9 can be copied with drag and drop, meaning if you have an OS 9 System Folder on anything - got it on a backup disk? - you can drag it onto the hard drive.

Hi. As long as you installed OS9 drivers when installing OSX, otherwise you wont be able to install OS9 afterwards.

Meanwhile also, Simon, since you boot into Target Disk Mode, you could run one of many utilities that have been mentioned here on the OS while in TDM, and restart the machine by itself when done. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

Re: Classic and Tiger HELP!!!
No, I definitely dont have OS9. I think it is trying to overwrite my OSX installation... Clarification: I have original OS9 Discs Grey, (Software Install) (Software Restore). I need Classic on Tiger - my current OS. My OS9 Discs don't want let me install OS9 System Folder without reformatting my HDD, so I have 2 choices: 1. Wipe my HDD and start over, or 2. Get a copy of the OS9 System Folder - which will work or Classic as long it is OS 9.2. Number 2 is what I'm trying to do, as I dont want to wipe my HDD.
