Everytime I try to install something on my iMac G-3 it says "Classic can not find a Mac OS 9 system folder on the startup disk to use," and then it says "You may need to install Mac OS 9.1 or later on your computer. To select a system folder on another Volume, click open classic preferences," but when I click on it it says that there are no system folders to choose.
