If you have a dual-boot system with both Mac OS 9 and OS X, you must choose Mac OS 9 as your startup system either in your Startup Disk Control Panel or by holding down the Option key during startup to use Pro Tools FREE. Systems that can only boot in OS X cannot be used.

    CD-ROM drive for software install (not necessary for web installer)

    Apple QuickTime v4.0 or higher (supplied on Pro Tools FREE CD-ROM or download here)
    Storage: A large, fast, hard drive for audio.
    For maximum performance, a dedicated ATA/IDE or SCSI disk drive(s), such as those qualified with Pro Tools LE, should be used.
