Booting Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9

Post by windoze98 »

Hello,

I am running SheepShaver version 2.4 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I am having trouble booting the installation media for Mac OS 8 or 9. It says that it is not the original media, which it is. I have tried locking the folder and iso file to "read only" but I still get the same error. Is there any way else to fix it?

Thanks! :smile:

Try another ISO... You need to use the installer to install to another disk

Could it be a machine-specific disk?
