Hi Stan
Just out of interest, why do you want OS9 these days anyway? I know why I do.....but why do you? What apps are you running on OS9?
And just in case Jon/Tacit agree that the only way out is to format your partitioned disk completely, how are your back-ups? You'll need to back up ABSOLUTELY EVERY SINGLE THING before you do this.....all the applications and all the user files you've created, on both partitions.
Assuming you'd reformat it to OSX, your OS9 apps wouldn't work thenceforth unless you're prepared to translate the user files first, into some format which is mutually recognisable: spreadsheets for instance to be converted to one type; WP documents to another type; databases to yet another type; graphics to another one. It's a long hard job, I've tried it.
On a positive note, it's good for de-cluttering. Do you really need all the stuff which accumulates on the OS9 side?
Best of Luck
