You can clone the drive using an external drive enclosure, or a USB to IDE adapter cable. You will need another mac to do this and another external hard drive. 1. Remove the hard drive and install it in the enclosure or attach the cable and hook up the other available free drive 2. Download SuperDuper a freeware utility to clone hard drives 3. Back up your hard drive to the external drive using SuperDuper 4. Reformat the hard drive and it can be used for whatever 5. You can clone back to your original hard drive with OS 9 and remove any other software you don't need
