I would only add one thing. All of the key files for OS 9 are locazted in the System Folder. Copying the system folder to the root level of a drive (take it out of any folder you've placed it in) shold make everything good to go. OK, here's another thing. When you get into Classic Prefs to aim at the OS 9 system folder, try usng the Rebuild Desktop command before you reboot. You could also turn off all extensions if you're not using them while in Classic.
