Hi All,
Like the title says, I am trying to install OS 9.2 on our G4 already running Tiger. I just did a clean install for Tiger on our computer (erased everything and started again... but that is another story). I am now trying to get OS9.2 up and running too b/c we have several programs that require an OS9 enviroment to function (no, there are no other updates that allow them to run on 10).
Since it is was a clean install I have several options (e.g. installing Tiger then OS 9.2 or vice versa) however I cannot get any to work. Both OSs have or currently run fine on this computer. When I try to install OS 9 from Tiger (insert disc, click install OS) the computer inexplicably tries to install OS 9 onto the OS disk itself. When I try to modify this option from the classic setting button under Sys Prefs, the two HDs that are on the computer are greyed out and there is no option to install to them.
OTOH, when I boot from the OS9 CD, I can get it to load, but when I go to install it, I have managed to get it as far as the place where it says "updating the hard disk drivers" and it doesnt load anymore (e.g. says ~3min, but I have left it for as long as 30' with no change!). I dont know what to do!
Suggestions?
