Well, if, like you said, you did erase everything on the drive, then OS X is
gone. Like Tim said, insert the disk and install. That's your only option.
Then, if you want OS X, you can install it on the same disk after OS 9 is
installed. If you want to install each OS independently and would like to be
able to wipe one while keeping the other, you would need to partition your
drive in 2 partitions, before installing anything...

laurent:
this is what i did:
installed 10.3-removing a 256 module. once done, put the 256 back in and installed software. then put os 9 disk and tried to install. since i could not install, i dragged the system software form disk in the off chance i might work. as suspected, it didn't work. then i booted from disk and installed os 9 from disk. all over content was erased.
an i getting this right now: install oos9 first, then install over it x? i was going to go for the partition alternative, but it is for my aunt and this id her first computer and i don't want to confuse her more than necessary. she just saw the light- came from the microsoft side.
