it sounds like the drive has become corrupted, i've seen this in os 9 and os x, and any time you run classic from os x and a classic program bombs the os 9 part can get corrupted. i'd suggest running whatever disk maintenance tools you have until no errors are reported and trashing the os 9 desktop files (they can become too corrupt to repair, if deleted they are recreated on next boot or starting of classic).
