install os

I am wanting to instal OS 13 on a USB SSD, and it stops in the middle and after a while the Mac reboots on to the internal SSD. I can see there are usual folders/files installed on the USB SSD but if I select it for a reboot, I get a message with - The operation couldn’t be completed...

My master drive crashed so I went out and bought a new one. But now when booting from CD it doesn't see the new drive. Obviously it's not formatted yet but how do I format it if my old drive is dead? Thanks.

this is extremely frusterating, and I have asked a great amount of people for help and I dont get much of a reply no matter where I go, unless of course I pay some tech $90 to look at it Everything is sound hardware wise, I Have swapped out many parts and nothing works replaced the Optical...

I have an old 8600/300 not used for many years, but still working though :) Now I want to do some wed audio streaming with Nicecast from this machine. The good thing with the 8600/300 is that it have all the A/V connections. BUT Will I be able to install any kind of OS X on the machine as...

I hope someone can help me.... On a Dual 800mhz G4 Tower, running 9.2.2 I cannot get OS X to install. I have tried with versions 10.0 thru to 10.2.4 As soon as I put the CD in and follow the prompts, it shuts down, restarts and thats as far as it gets, the beachball doesn't even spin(10.0) it...

I'm fairly new to macs, and I've been trying to install OS X v 10.2 on an emac. the system profiler (?) told me it is a powerpc G3 with 256 RAM. Every time i try to install, i get to a point in the process and the installer quits, leaving me an error message. I understand this is probably to do...

How to do so and boot it from the firewire device thereafter? Thanks!

OK guys, here's maybe a more strange question. On my Macs, there's only Panther running, and it came with the Classic environment, but not the entire OS 9. Now, in the company I work for, there is an older iMac G3 with OS 9.2.2 on it. Now my question: Is it somehow possible, to create an...

Hi. I just bought a mac out of the paper. It's a G4 350mhz Sawtooth with 640MB RAM (which, I think some may be bad because it locks up all the time). I've never had a Mac before, so I'm new to all this. When he gave it to me, it had a fresh copy of OS X installed. He also gave me many CDs...

hi, i have a beige g3 tower, single 256mb dimm, rev a mobo, 266mhz i bought it with no hd, so i got a western digital caviar 22500 2.3Gb ide drive, plugged it into the ide ribbon with the ide cd rom, ran the os 9 installer, initialised the drive into two hfs+ partitions, everythings fine...

When I try to install OS 9 on to classic... Well it doesen't work :rolleyes: I cant start up from the iMac CD and I dont have the CD with the big 9 on it.

I'm running Panther 10.3.2 on a G5 dual, and would like to install OS 9.1 on my computer. At present there's no sign of OS 9 in the system. How and where do you install it? Also, once it's been installed, if I ever wanted to remove it, is that possible? Thanks Dean

when you choose to format a HD in os x disk utility, you have the option of installing the os 9 drivers so os 9 can recognize the disc (i assume). anyway, i made the mistake of NOT installing them on my large HD, thinking i would only use 9 on my small HD. now when i boot up on the small HD, all...

I've already searched for similar topic but I wasn't able to find what I'm looking for. I have a PowerMac G4 Install CD (Mac OS 9.2.2) and I want to install classic in the same hard disk in which OS X is installed. I didn't install OS 9 drivers when I formatted, but now I need to use...

A friend just bought a Beige G3 from eBay, his first step into the Mac world. He wanted me to give him OS 9 to install, and then OS X. However, my OS 9 Install disc says for iMac DV models only. Does it just say it for the hell of it or won't it work?

My wife has an older G3 iBook, the kind with lime green accent panels. A couple of months ago, it seemed like upgrading to Jaguar was a good thing to do since she uses it for web, her iPod, and to download photos from her camera. So she's been very happy with Jaguar (except for some problems...

Man, right when I fix one problem I find another! I can't get into single user mode on my dp867 PM- I've tried two keyboards and nothing works- I tried verbose as well and it won't work either. Just for reference, I can eject teh CD-ROM though- thanks! Rowcroft

Help! I have a 1ghz dual processor only 1 month old, with OS X 10.1.5 I puchased 10.2 and after rebooting onto the Upgrade Disc 1 it doesn't SEE my hard drive to install Jaguar onto? I've run the repair permissions program twice and though it fixed some permissions it did not fix this...

I have a machine where I've been using osX only. In fact, OS 9 isn't even installed. There are some things I would like 9 for though. Is it possible to install OS9 now that I have an OSX only machine, or should I format the drive and start over?

i have a regular osx 10.1.3. can i install the server administration software into my running system? is there an installer?
