    Hi Jeff!

    Dual booting means to enable a computer to allow the user to select to
    boot from one of two or more operating systems that are installed. To
    change this you'd look in Apple menu --> System Preferences --> Startup
    Disk. Not all new model Macs can boot into Mac OS 9.

    Mac OS X does allow you to run applications in Classic mode. This means
    that you boot into Mac OS X and then Mac OS 9 launches inside Mac OS X
    so that you can launch your Mac OS 9 applications. This feature comes
    pre-installed on Mac OS X machines and should work for you right now. If
    you've wiped your hard drive and installed Mac OS X then you may need to
    go back to your installer CDs and install Classic support. For more
    information about reinstalling look here

    Hope this helps! bill
