I am wanting to dual boot my MacBook with OS 10.5 and OS 9. I went into Disk Utility and partitioned the hard drive. Now I have Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD_2. When I insert the OS 9 CD and restart, it keeps ejecting it. Any suggestions, or what am I doing wrong. I know it has to be ejecting because I have OS 10 already installed.
I have an MacBook, 15" monitor, 1 GIG ram, 120 gig internal hard drive, 500 gig external hard drive, and an iMac with 40 gig internal hard drive with iSight web cam. Using Mac OS 10.5 Leopard

You're on an Intel machine trying to boot from a PPC disc.

You can't do this. It won't work for the reason 64stang says.

You cannot run OS 9 on an Intel Mac outside of emulation. You can't even run it through Classic on 10.4.

So what's your point ?

Are you saying that after Repairing Permissions, it will run on OS 10.5 on an Intel Mac ?

Not saying anything except there's a toggle to repair OS 9 permissions on every Mac.

LOL, never noticed. How stupid of Apple.

Let's hope the OP will get that my comment was in jest, and not ask why the "Repair Permissions" doesn't work

Don't you mean rebuild the desktop?
What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.

Surely he's referring to blowing on the cartridge before putting it in.

…oh, wait, wrong system.
