I really wonder if this will work for me. I bought a used "mirrored drive doors" (G4 1 GHz Dual) and I can't boot OS 9 anymore. This is what Apple tells you about the issue: "These computers are supported by the version of Mac OS included with the computer when it was purchased; retail copies of Mac OS with the same (or earlier) version number may not include the system software components necessary to start up these models." (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25114)

greetings. i am having some difficulties with this torrent. the mac os 9 retail mounts a mac os 9.2 cd when i click on it. which runs me into the problem i've been having: i have plenty of os9 updates but no original os so each update asks me where my classic folder is. any ideas? thanks in advance.

veraeq17, a .toast file is usually opened with Toast, a Mac program. I've never had to use one with my PC, but apparantly 7-zip can open them (I can't confirm this, though). Dunno, they're basically an .iso file (try renaming, some people say that works). DMGs are disk images, and act like an actual disc when opened on a Mac, just like an .iso or .toast (if you have Toast). Your average Windows PC doesn't support the mounting of disc image files as a physical CD, but I've heard a lot about DMG2ISO, which can convert the .dmg files you keep finding into .iso files, which can be mounted/burnt by Nero or Alchohol 120%. But unless it's system software, you won't find much use in that, Mac applications are Mac-only. "Then I have this folder: __MACOSX with this inside.. ._Mac OS 9 Retail.toast " Those are folders that would be hidden on a Mac, just like we can see your hidden files like thumbs.db. You won't find anything in them :P Basically, try renaming the .toast file to .iso, burn it to a CD, put the updates on a CD (unless you have internet to the Mac, then you can download them), pop the CD in the Mac, and see if it'll boot from the CD. If it will, you can install. And to those people trying to install this on any G4 Mac (except the 1Ghz Powerbook), don't bother, those models don't support booting into OS 9, and for Classic this won't work because it's not 9.2.2, and you can't install the updates seperately. Try looking elsewhere if you just need classic (lots of 9.2.2 disk images out there). This is for those that can boot it and emulators (like Sheepshaver) only! i_am_ninjasmurf, I have the same file and the .toast image mounts fine as Mac OS 9. It's 9.0, or at most 9.0.4, or you wouldn't need the updates ;)

Renaming the file does work. Just extract it in WinRAR (not winzip, theres no renaming capabilities in that software) and make sure you close your .torrent downloader, and right click and rename the .toast to .iso and burn it in nero.

I don't know why this was uploaded in its current condition, but its garbage. The OS9 install disk is european english (as already mentioned), but the updates are for US english version only, so you can't use both on the same computer, you'll need a different version of OS9 if you want to use the updates, or a different version up the updates to use with this version. The updates are quite possibly somewhere on Apple's site.

For some reason I have no luck with it. I can dir cd:,\ and see the contents, but it won't boot. Also UltraISO says "Unsupported block size, HFS will be skipped". Attempted burning with DeepBurner, UltraISO, no luck with either.. and I KNOW this is what I need to boot my Sawtooth AGP! Please help!

Thanks for the Distro! For PC users: Using winrar, double click and open the file, extract the OS9.toast file (~6** MB), rename it to OS9.iso. burn to a regular CD-r (Not CD-rw, no patterned discs etc...) you can use IMGburn to do this (it is free and it worked for me) I have confirmed that this will boot, and install in Blue and white G3 towers using this method. @ Runic thanks for the tip on toast.

I burned this with imgburn at 4x on a good philips CDR, and it doesn't boot. My chinese macos disc from emule does boot, however.

no matter what program I use to burn this or any other "install" disc for mac I can not for the life of me get it to boot from cd.....which is important cause I have no os on my G3. Every time I try to boot from open firmware I get "load size too small" holding the "c" key does not work for me and neither do most other keyboard commands. Im convinced its how the disc is burnt, I just can't seem to get it to work. I have been using cd-r's for this. anybody have an idiots step by step guide for booting this on a G3 (summer 2001) but burning it on a pc first.
