[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1562528, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. Who knows? Need information about the discs. Are they full retail install DVD's/CDs and not silver /grey model specific discs? Suggest leaving Tiger OS X.4 on the iMac and looking for a OS 9.2.2 CD if you have to go Classic. Be aware the hard drive had to be set up to install OS 9 drivers at the time it was formatted and Tiger installed. Trying the OS 9 install will soon let you know. If not and no Tiger discs you may be better formatting using the Panther disc OS X.3, ticking the box at format to install OS 9 drivers. Again be aware doing this will wipe everything on the hard drive. This link on eBay shows the white OS 9.2.1 disc you require which can be updated to OS9.2.2 after installation. Do not buy any silver/grey disc. They abound on eBay.
