I have been a bit daft & installed osx deleting os9. i have since found out my cd burner wont burn with osx but needs the previous os (classic). the main problem is that i cant get the previous os to install now (9.0). it wont install with osx running because it needs classic and it wont fresh install either! i was going to install it and either run it as classic with osx or have the machine dual boot. problem is i dont know how - can anyone help?

That's just a teeny bit daft. If you wiped the disk before installing OSX,
and if you didn't check the box that says "include OS9 HD drivers,"
then you have to start all over again.
It's easy enought to check. Boot with your original OS9 install CD.
If it won't install on your HD, you didn't check the magic box. If
it will install, just do it.
No, don't have OSX running. Start from the OS9 installer. Put the
CD in the drive, restart, and hold down the "C" key.

If you didn't use the check box to install OS 9 drivers, you should still be able to reinstall OS 9, but you won't be able to boot from it.
Let us know what Burner you have, maybe someone can help with that in OS X.

some reason my machine wont install a copy of 9 at all, just tried to install from the CD & it errored & kicked out at the begining of the install process - then some how managed to wipe my internet settings & my modem drivers! it has just taken me 1/2 an hour to put it all right. both my CD burners do not work. one is the one that came with the machine system profiler calls it a matshita cr-587 which still reads just fine but wont write any more.the other is an external drive that wont work at all since the upgrade and thats a teac cd-r55s. if i can get either working i'll be happy.
