[QUOTE="paul_james, post: 1563799, member: 319230"] [b]tried to install OS9[/b] OK. I tried to boot from the OS9 CD: put in CD and rebooted, holding down the C key. Upon reboot I see a blinking earth (globe) on a square. Then it changes to a blinking question mark alternating with the Mac face icon on a folder. When the IMAC finally comes up (OSX loads), an error reads: "Classic cannot find a Mac OS9 system folder on the startup disk to use." This means I need to erase everything and install from the OS 10.3 CDs, right? If so, do I just insert the first OS 10.3 disk and reboot holding down the C key...and then proceed with a clean install, making sure to check the 'OS9' box? [/QUOTE]
