My mouse control pannel looks like this. 

Any way to change the default click button in OS X.2?(that is, make the mouse "left-handed") it's hard to find instructions for these old OSs sometimes. 

UPDATE: Classsic in OS X does work, so that data is there but something changed in the partition table that makes it unbootable directly.

Well, it half worked, my Mac OS 9 partition is visible from OS X.2 but not Mac OS 8.6 or 9 and I can't boot it(gets stuck at the Happy Mac screen OR worse flashing ? on a floppy). I think Classic works but I don't want the overhead of OS X when running OS 9 apps. Any idea what is wrong? 

I can't find my spare flash drives offhand and this one needs to be PC compatible and again I don't want to repartition the drive.  

I am now putting programs into Stuffit Archives then I will move these to my flash drive. This will save the resources forks. 

Hmm, my Mac seems to reject DVD-Rs. I do have a PC DVD-ROM drive in it and it does read DVD-R them but eject blank discs upon insert. So it this point I don't have a good way of backing the thing up, over then DD images, which I don't want to at the moment. Could I make an HFS+ disk image on...

I don't feel like repartition my 1 TB terrible drive cause that's slightly dangerous, so DVD is the way to go.    

The problem is where to put it where it will keep the resource forks intact, it's a 40 GB drive and I don't want OS X.2 badly enough(in terms of my time) to image the whole thing. After I am done working, I'll see if I have DVD burning software on OS 9, I only used about 3 GB so it would fit on...

I only have 1 spare Mac drive and I got it for free from a guy and don't know if it works.  Does Gparted support old Mac drives, if so I would take out the hard drive and repartition it in Linux.

HI  Do you know a way of repartitioning and old Mac disk, Disk Tools on the OS X CD wants to reformat the drive first? I want to run Mac OS 9 and OS X without upgrading and using Classic.  -Jamie 

This is different than the networking thing. The networking was to read my Mac's hard disk to maintain it remotely, this is to read the data on Mac CD-ROMs, although the topics do have similarities.  I tried "HFS Explorer" but it did not work. 

Hmm, I bet if I extracted them on my Mac I could play them on my Mac. I'll give that a try next time I am there. 

I have a Windows program called "FMV Extractor" that looks through any kind of file for playable formats, but I don't know anything like that I can run on my Mac. 

I am experimenting to see if I can read the data(videos, sound clips, pictures) in my games on Windows, the modern media tools I have on Windows are better then on my old Macs. So for this to work I need to be able to see the hidden folders. 

Does anyone know of any free software that lets you read Mac cd-roms on Windows? 

Oh good point so SSHd on a Live Linux CD might be better for what I want. (remote diagnostics) 

Power Mac G4 with Mac OS 9.2.2 installed. Hmm interesting idea, I'll see what I can find. 

I think I'll stick with Zip disk and CDs to transfer things to my old Mac. It's new enough that I can probally load a live Linux distro and SSH if I need more direct access to the disk remotely.(which is why I want to do this). 

PCMacLan does not run on Windows 10 and so it's not convenient to use and I don't know how to use NetaTalk(I think it's server) to connect to an AppleShare.
