Well it is really simple I need to be able to run in classic mode but it will not let my install it :pinch: I stick in the OS 9 CD and click OS install and this little window comes up that says.......

 Classis cannot find a Mac OS 9 System folder on the startup disk to use.     You may need to install Mac OS 9.1 or later on your computer. To select a system folder on another volume, click Open Classic Preferences.

At the bottom of the window you can either quit or open classic preferences...... When I go the preferences I get this ?you do not have a version of OS 9 installed that supports classic. Install Mac OS 9.1 or later":argh:h: I know I don't have it installed!!! That?s what I am trying to do but it will not let me!!!:pinch:nc:wacko:cko: Anyone know why I am getting this?

I think the problem is that you are trying to install OS 9 from within OS X. Well, the way you are going about it won't work, you will need to boot from the OS 9 CD to install it. Why?

1. the OS 9 installer program is a classic app

2. you don't have Classic installed, which is required to run a classic app inside of OS X

Well Classic (Mac OS 9.2.2) should be included on the recover disks that came with your Mac.

:( I know I would be using them but I lost the OS 9.2 disk...... I guess there is no way I could slipstream my OS 9 disk with the updates is there?

Why not install 9.0 then update to 9.2.2?

That's exactly what he's trying to do, and it won't work because 9.1 is the minimum for Classic to run in OS X.

Could you not borrow the Classic install disc from a friend? As far as I know, they're the same for each machine.

It's a quicksilver G4 which means it can boot into OS 9, so pop in the OS 9.0 cd, reboot, press C to boot from cd, install OS 9, update to 9.2.2, reboot, choose system folder for classic in OS X, start classic.

That's what I was trying to say above. It seems that he's trying to run the OS 9 installer from within OS X, which obviously isn't going to work since he doesn't have Classic running.

Yes it can boot OS 9 but it has to be OS 9.1 that is the latest OS it will run..... If you try to install 9 it just come up with the question mark folder looking for system files?. I am going to see if my friend has his disk since we got our computers about the same time

      I'm too old to return to the "good old days" when I was installing custom ROMs and tinkering with my devices - now I just want to turn it on and use it. I've read that banking and payment apps work on Murena /e/OS (I'll have to check the ones I use) and I also really want to support Fairphone 😉
