MB 1,1-7,1 Dual boot Tiger & Lion on White Macbook

[DouglasCarroll]

Hey everyone,

I was thinking about setting up a dual boot with my White MacBook with Tiger and Lion. I'm currently running Lion (last supported OS) on the machine and really enjoy using it, but would also like to run some older Classic (OS 9) and a few other OS X programs on it that won't run under Lion. Has anyone else setup a dual boot with these two OS versions and/or have any hints when doing this? I cannot recall at the moment, but do I need to partition the drive BEFORE I install ANY OS, or can I partition the unused section of the SSD that Lion is running and then install Tiger on that? (Also the reason I want to use Tiger instead of Leopard for Classic is there are a few older OS X games that won't run under Leopard but will under Tiger)

Thanks for any help with this!

Partition your drive and install Tiger and Lion on separate partitions. Will be interesting experiment to see if you can get Classic to run on your Intel MacBook. Good luck!

Ah shoot, that’s right “Classic” doesn’t work on Intel does it. I totally forgot about that. I’ll have to see if the particular programs I want to run have a “carbon” version, if not I’ll probably not bother installing Tiger.

Thanks for the reminder!
