I'm about ready to rip my hair out and scream. I am now getting lock-ups on my "good" Wallstreet when I boot off an OS 9 CD-ROM and the Sonnet CPU is installed.
But the reason why I want to scream now is because I cannot figure out how to format and partition my 80GB spinning platter hard drive. I put it in my Wallstreet with the 266MHz CPU, and I can boot of the OS 9 CD without crashing. I opened Drive Setup and told it to create the following 3 partitions:
1) 650MB
2) 6.8GB
3) The remaining space.
I then clicked Initialize. Sadly, I got an error at the end saying Initialization failed, however it created the following 3 partitions:
1) 650MB
2) 650MB
3) 6.8GB
So where did the rest of my space go!?
So I then put the 80GB drive in an external case and attached it to my OS X Lion iMac and ran Disk Utility. Stupid Disk Utility won't allow me to create any partition smaller than 1.07GB on it! But even worse, there is no way to partition it with OS 9 Drivers. In the past I remember having this checkbox, but in Lion it's gone! So how in the world can I format my hard drive so my Wallstreet can use it, yet maintain all 80GB of space?
UPDATE: I just booted my iMac from OS X 10.6 and I don't see an option to install OS 9 Drivers either! And when I put in my OS X Tiger DVD on my iMac and tried to launch the Tiger version of Disk Utility, it tells me I cannot run it under Snow Leopard! Ack! What can I do?
