[QUOTE="Brown Study, post: 477858, member: 3889"] Insert the OS 9 disk again, then reboot while holding down the Option key (it will take a while, so be patient). This should present you with a choice of boot options, one of them being the OS 9 disk. Click on that disk, then the restart arrow or whatever the restart icon happens to be. If all is right with the world, the machine should boot from the disk, after which you can install OS 9. Ideally, you should partition the drive, then install OS 9 on one, and OS X on the other. This will allow you to run third-party OS 9 disk utilities such as Norton or Disk Warrior. Running any such repair program when OS 9 and OS X are on the same partition will destroy the OS X installation. [/QUOTE]
