Japanese System: How to switch from 9.2 to OS X? (was "help")
- Thread starter alexdjhr
- Start date
You may be able to just hold down the option key at startup and choose OS X. Btw.: I've had to change your thread's title. "help" is a _little_ bit, well, it doesn't really say that much about its content...Based on the brevity of the original post, if one is to assume that both System 9.2 and MacOS X (unknown version) are installed, then use the 'System Preferences' 'Startup Disk' utility - to locate, select, and boot MacOS X from.
Otherwise, a properly detailed post may be necessary.

Opps, by 'System Preferences' 'Startup Disk' utility - I meant select the 'Apple, Control Panels, Startup Disk' sub-menu item.
I actually did perform the above 'Apple ... Startup Disk' sub-menu item process within System 9.2.2, and then (for some unknown reason) wrote the reply via a MacOS X point of view.

Hm, barhar: You're assuming he can read Japanese (which from the post I get he can't). My guess is that in OS X, it was in a language he understands (OS X supports more than one language), whereas OS 9.2 loads in Japanese and Japanese _only_ ...
In OS 9, you'd have to find the System Folder (that's the one with the Mac OS smiley on the folder) and in there the Control Panels (folder with a panel on front, IIRC), and in _there_ the 'Startup Volume' control panel (should maybe show a disk icon in its icon...). In _there_ OS X should be selectable.

I think you can also choose the system to boot on an OS9/OSX dual boot system by holding down either "9" (or was it "C" for classic?) or "X" when switching the machine on. I should point out though that this worked for me five years ago, but I haven't done it since so I can't be sure.
