A long time ago, I uploaded a version of Mac OS 9 (9.0, to be exact) with its language in Spanish. Unfortunately, it wasn't bootable and it required to be installed over a installed Mac OS 9 environment in English.
Could somebody upload an Install CD of Mac OS 9 in Spanish, or somebody knows how to repair the Spanish version (uploaded by me) to be bootable again, please?
EDIT: It was 9.04, not 9.0.
Just to learn, how to repair bootability on CD's?
Is the CD not bootable on any model Mac? Or just the Mac you are wanting it to boot? What model of Mac do you want it for?
There are quite a few localized OS CD images on the Apple Anthologies hosted on Max´s server.
To make them bootable, a valid blessed System folder for the desired hardware would have to be added.
Wanting to create such a thing, one might install the system from the localized CD on a new volume, add the content of the source CD and finally create a new image of the volume - either with DiskCopy or Toast.
iMac G3 350 MHz and iBook G3 Clamshell 300 MHz
As long as the 9.0.4 CD is universal (for any Mac) The Clamshell should be OK at booting to it. The iMac 350 if it is the original blueberry slot loading model, it should be OK too. If its the later Summer 2000 Indigo model it may be OK as it shipped with 9.0.4 installed (unless it required some additional enabler?).
Is the Spanish version you uploaded, the one hosted at psmxcyh alterupload, filename MO904S.zip? If so I'll take a look at it shortly.
I don't know if it is. I have 9.04, that's 9.0, I think.
No, it says Spanish CD-ROM Download, includes the Mac OS E-9.0.4 installer etc and says not bootable.
Extracted from the zip it has the filename Mac OS 9.0.4.toast - I'm taking a look at it anyway (now that I've DL'd it)...
[Edit] OK it appears to be the 9.0.4 Spanish install CD and it is definitely not bootable, which is odd because the on CD documentation indicates that it should be bootable.
Good news is, by rebuilding the CD it can be made bootable, which I have just done sucessfully.
I used Toast 5 on Mac OS 9.2.2 but it could be any classic Mac OS version Toast will run on.
Mount the image from here using Toast (or use your own copy if its the same unbootable version). Important: check the .toast file first and make sure it is unlocked before mounting it at this stage.
Once you have the "Mac OS 9" CD icon mounted on your desktop open its System Folder "Carpeta del Sistema", then double-click the System icon to open it too (you'll see a bunch of keyboard items and not much else inside). Now close the System icon. This causes the System to become bootable (blesses the System). Close the "Carpeta del Sistema" folder too.
Next, drag the "Mac OS 9" CD icon to the Trash.
Restart Toast and get it to mount the .toast image again. Select the "Data" option in Toast, make sure it says "Mac OS CD" and not "Mac OS Extended CD" (or anything else). Drag the re-mounted "Mac OS 9" CD icon onto the Toast window. You should see the contents of the mounted CD image flood into the Toast window.
Now burn the CD. It should result in a now bootable Spanish install CD for you. You might want to test on -RW media first.
Yikes! My VAIO went to the PC's Heaven. It was my only resource to download files.
I'm downloading the files from the uni, I'm downloading this right now, I have things to bless 
P.S.: There was a 40GB IDE Hard Disk Drive in the VAIO. If it works yet, my iBook G3 Clamshell will be happy.
