![]() When asked, select Mac OS Extended as the format. ![]() To do that, boot to the CD and run Drive Stup from the Utilities folder on the CD. It can also use the original Software Install install CD that came with it, which had a model-specific version of OS 9.2.Įither of those disks can be used to reinitialize and reformat the drive you now have, provided the drive is healthy. Even if it is one of the special-priced 'education' models, it probably can use that CD.īasis - the CPU speed and form factor (M8493) cross-referenced with this Apple KBas article. ![]() Your QS 733MHz model, provided it was not one of the 'Education' models, should have no problem using a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD. Changing a hard drive will not have any affect upon what OS the machine can boot to that ability is a function of the hardware, specifically the main logic board and the processor on it. I assume that ANY Replacement Hard Drive that I might buy, will NOT solve this problem.Ĭorrect. Classic will NOT work for what I'm trying to do. My intent here is to run OS 9.2 in it's original FULL Apple version. Sooooo perhaps I should just pick up another install disc for 9.2.2 (even if the original OS was 9.2.1)?Īnd one last question, when Apple says that 9.2.1, and 9.2.2 contain improvements for running in Classic Mode, that doesn't imply that when you get to 9.2.2, you're really not installing the APPLE ORIGINAL OS 9 does it? Why do I need OS 9 FULL and NOT Classic, because I have Tascam Automation software that will ONLY work in the original OS 9 environment. Ok that being said, I'd like to know what version of OS 9.2 it was originally running in? 9.2.1 OR 9.2.2 ? Does it matter? Yes I think so. I tried to boot off my full retail OS 9.1, but it won't boot - probably because the OEM OS was 9.2 to begin with, and so you can't go down to a lower level OS. Reason I say that is that the computer still tries to boot into OS 9.2 but gets stuck in the process, then I have to do a force shut down. I recently bought an older G4 733 Qucksilver, and it appears as though the dude that I bought it from, didn't do a proper erase (complete erase). ![]()
