MAC OS 9 - 12" POWERBOOK TITANIUM
I just purchased a copy of Final Cut Pro for OS 9 that I want to install on my 12" Powerbook Titanium. When I try to install the prog., it gives me an error that says ' This program cannot run under classic environment, please run under native Mac OS 9.' When I try to install OS 9, my powerbook won't startup off of the OS 9 Install CD
How can I install OS 9 on my 12" Powerbook????
What happens when you try to boot with the os 9 cd? What was the os that came preinstalled on this laptop?

It ignores the OS9 boot CD..
It came installed with OS 10.2.2
Do you even see the os 9 smile face? Are you holding c down? Are you able to go to startup disk and select that cd to boot from? zapped p-ram?Maybe you have one of the machines that can not boot into os9. How new is the machine?
also, check the site, maybe you can upgrade to the os X version.

The machine is only 6 months old
I've held down C, and cleared P-Ram.
I dont want to upgrade b/c I like the GUI for final cut under OS 9, not X.
I am thinking that you have a machine that can not boot into os 9. Have you ever before? Most newer computers are not able to boot into os 9 anymore. They can only run classic from 10.
According to this chart it doesnt seem that your powerbook can boot into os 9.
