I am installing OS 10.3 fresh on 4 machines for a user. I am generally a PC user and am a bit rusty on apple support by comparison.
I have read a similar thread on this in April to no avail.
Heres what I have tried:
Restarting, booting from the OS 9.1 cd and installing the classic OS. THis will not work because for some reason, when I choose the volume to install onto, the "select" icon is greyed out. I'm guessing this has something to do with write priveledges, but I'm not sure.
Copying over the system folder from the OS 9 cd while within 10, trying t ostart classic, and it says "the classic system folder is only meant to be used with on installation disks and will not work if copied to another volume."(approximate quote)
On apple.com I found instructions telling me to use the extra hardware installation cd that came with 10 to install classic. The problem is, my University has a site liscence for OS X, but the copy which have been made available to the professors do not include the extra cd, only the 3 OS 10.3 install cds.
So, how do I install classic without the extra cd, from the OS 9 cd, or, why is the selection greyed out? Thanks in advance.~
