Make bootable OS 9 CD's in X easily
I have a CD that boots in OS 9 with my diagnostic utilities. I use this CD on client's Macs, so I like to keep the latest system and application updates on it. I created this CD in OS X. About once a month I make changes to the contents of the CD's disk image and burn a new CD. I did all this without using Toast or any terminal tricks. Here's how:

I tried it, and it works!!! In all honesty, I did not think this would work (apologies to mlbruce), but it does. I thought that surely someone would have thought of this before (apologies to mlbruce). The 'Install OS 9' CD that came with my Mac has OS 9.2.1 on it. After creating a successful boot-copy of this disk (with DiskWarrior on it too), I created another with the corresponding files from my OS 9.2.2 System Folder. It works like a dream. This one pointer by mlbruce will cause me to pay to support macoshints!!

When I follow your instructions, it works fine. The only problem is that the image is write protected so I am unable to modify the image. What can I do so that I am able to write to the image ?

Originally I tried to make a copy of my DiskWarrior disk so that I could (1) add a copy of Disk First Aid to it, and (2) add a copy of the Disk Setup, and (3) eventually put an updated DiskWarrior application on it in case DiskWarrior were updated. However, that image was write-protected as you mentioned. Then I used the OS 9.2.1 install disk that came with my Mac and that image was not write-protected. So, I would just try another CD capable of booting your Mac.

Great, great ! I had just been wasting two CD's in a row using Toast when I saw your message. I tried your simple method and it works fine for me, no problem with locked disks (as other readers reported), I chose the OS 9.1. CD to work with. |
