Can't boot up classic

[Solaris]

i was trying to install Starcraft on my iBook and inally realized classic won't boot up. I star classic after the load bar finishes it just quits and sends me to my desktop

My best guess, is you need to delete your system folder and then get a new system folder off a CD...

Wait for more responses.. mine may not be wise

it may not be wise, but it works

well i don't want os9 on here anyway. I tried deleting the os9 system and apps folder but even as root it wouldn't let me

Hmm, maybe you could go to Get info on folders and change user.. so you have privilages on that folder over the computer...? or check out Filebuddy, and just tear the thing outa your mac. Well if your computer is new and you dont have much on it, or if you do, reinstall OSX with a clean installation, back up what you have, and just never install OS9..

 

[MacAddikt]

why would you need classic for starcraft?

 

[Solaris]

ok thats change subject how do i get os9 off my computer without a fresh reinstall?

 

[Solaris]

i found out how to remove the os9 system/applications folder. Now if i remove them is that it os9 is uninstalled no more worries? Or is this not good for my computer. Leave feedback please

Ide think its fine, if you go to system prefs/startup disk.. does it show OS9 listed?

 

[Solaris]

ya it's listed there. I still havn't deleted it. This is also funny. I installed Virtual pc 6.0 and just like classic after the os loading screen it just quits like classic did. Is there something that not letting my computer boot into another os?

 

[Graphite]

eem... did you restart your computer?
Hmm... there wouldn't be anything preventing specifically other OS's.. but there could be a misaligned file which is required of both..
I had trouble with Limewire, so i ran System Optimizer (outdated link removed) and its all good now.

Well i was on the phone with allple for about an hour. I decied to just do a clean format and reinstall. I did not install OS9 at all on this install so it doesn't matter i guess. I can run virtual PC now so it's all good. Thanks for the feed back guys

 

[MacAddikt]

good to hear you got it working well again.

i got rid of 9 as soon as possible. the only time i suggest people use 9 is if there is no OS X alternative to something they have to have

 

[Solaris]

i just got done downloading the following programs for osx: Macromedia Studio MX, Office X, Virtual PC 6.0, Toast Titanium 5.2.1, Limewire, Directconnect (well had those 1st to dl the other programs) i just installed Warcraft 3 to keep me busy on the train. I'm trying to get a hold of Mac VCD

I had my iMac with out OS9 for a few months, but i came to programming and a guitar tuner and i just had to reinstall it (i never use it much more than 1ce a month)
