Running partitions of Mac OS 9 and X on a G5

Monday, January 31, 2011 / Dual Boot, G5, Mac OS 9 / Classic, Mac OS X, Operating Systems, PowerMac

I have a G5 tower (the silver one) with dual 2 gig core. Can I load and partition OS 9.2.3 & 10.4.0 & 10.5.8? Or just OS 9.2.3 & 10.4.0?

The G5 PowerMac, supports OS X up to 10.5.8, with support for Classic (OS 9 virtualized). Partitioning the drive, most likely will just limit your storage options, as that unit will not boot in OS 9. I hope this information has been useful for you.
