Hi, I am on 10.4.4 and trying to run an application that requires OS 9 classic support. I can't find my OS X cd's. Can someone help or point me in the right direction.

Buy an external firewire drive that is 20-80 gigs and install os 9 on there and boot up from there. Or partition your current drive and install OSX on one partition and OS9 on the other. I'm guessing that should work, unless Apple did something with the latest versions of OSX or whatever machine you are running to prevent OS 9 from running. If you have an iPod, you might be able to even install it on there, I know you can install OSX on them
I'm not positive though, I haven't used OS9 in about 2 years and when I did I clean installed it on an old imac.
If you need a copy of OS9, I suggest checking some torrent sites. TorrentSpy has one with 4 seeds.

Why can't you just mount the dmg and install it on your boot volume?

As I remember (and it has been a while), Classic does not require a separate partition. Just install it alongside OS X.
