Hi,

I have some statistical programs which only run on OS 9. So I thought I would install Mac OS 9 on my dual G5, I insert a Mac OS 9 disk, restart and hold down the c-key and it always boots into Panther.

Can someone PLEASE help?

Thanks.

Figured it out, pop-in the DVD that came with the computer and run the Classic installer...

There's no way you can boot from an OS 9 CD BTW. Even the last revision of G4s couldn't.
