[QUOTE="surfwax95, post: 188528, member: 12561"] I'm fairly sure you'll have to partition your hard drive to support both of the Operating Systems. Use a program like [url=http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15360]iPartition[/url] to do it without erasing anything. Name the new partition something like "OS9" and use the install disk to install to that partition. Then when ever you boot, hold down "Option" and the computer will look for an alternate boot file, and it should find Mac OS9's ROM image on that other partition. Classic is great for just running the programs, but you're never *truly* [b]in[/b] OS9. [/QUOTE]
