[QUOTE="RamonMedina, post: 17222"] Hello, I Don't see my particular set of questions in the threads, so if anyone could answer my particular set of questions I would be very grateful... Here is my situation. I have a 400MHZ G4, 20GB Harddrive running OS9.2. While I want to upgrade to Panther i do not want to lose my OS9 software (Illustrator, misc Games, Office, Premier, Et al) So Here are my 3 questions... 1) Is "Classic Mac" actually OS9 or an emulator ala Virtual PC? 2) Will os 9.2 and Panther live happily on the same harddrive or should I install a second Harddrive for a dual boot environment? 3) If they can live happily together on the same drive will I have to clear the drive for a clean install then come back and re-install OS9 and my OS9 applications or will it leave all of my current stuff alone when I upgrade? Thank you for any assistance Ramon medina [/QUOTE]
