You mean: can you fix OS X by reinstalling OS X? Or, can you fix Classic by re-installing OS 9? You can probably fix Classic by saving the Preferences file and re-installing OS 9. I doubt OS X would be that simple, you probably would have to go through the whole installation process. But, it seems that in OS X 10.2 (Jaguar?) you won't have quite the same hassles -- one of the "rumour" sites had a slew of pictures of a beta and it seems there's a "re-install" option for OS X now (along with "back-up" your previous install to a folder).
