OS 9.2.2 on PowerMacG4...

Look at the instructions in my second note, Steve.

Or am I not understanding the question?

Hi Al

...as I see it, all that I can do is clone the (other) PowerMac Hard Disk (I don't think that it is partitioned?) using Carbon Copy Cloner - onto my external Firewire Hard Disk (I've tried this on my Mac and it worked perfectly - I even booted up directly from the FireWire Disk). I am assuming that all I need to do with Carbon Copy is to tick the "correct permissions" box, and it will carryout the same Cloning procedure on the other PC without any possiblity of corrupting that computer!

I can then bootup my Mac (with a clean copy of Tiger) and bringup the Firewire External Hard Disk. I can then use Tinker Tools to show hidden files.

...do I then simply copy the whole of the OS 9.22 folder into my Hard Disk. Will I also need to "find" other files/folders/hidden files that pertain to OS 9.2.2 that exist in the OSX area, and copy those accross as well?

Thanks

...well I have finally loaded OSX 10.2.8 and OS 9.2.2 onto my G4 - horray!!

I did this using the Disk Utility-Restore from an identical Mac to my own. How can I now create an iso of OS 9.2.2 on CD (or DVD); reload Tiger, and then restore OS 9.2.2 back onto my G4? Is it best to partition my Hard Disk exclusively for OS 9.2.2?

Just install Tiger. It won't mess with the Classic folders.
