How to burn a bootable OS 9.1 CD...
« on: May 04, 2014, 09:35:17 AM »
I've downloaded Mac OS 9.1 (Universal Install) - Toast CD Image however it was not bootable.

Obviously i've done something wrong in the unpacking and burning process.

What is the correct way to unpack and burn a bootable CD ?

_normally any mac os 7 - 9 can boot from anywhere, including the trash folder of an USB 1.0 stick.

so if your CD doesnt work it is either not new enough to support your hardware, or the following procedure will help: install it onto the HD, then burn the system folder to a CDR to create your custom boot CD for this machine.
