AFAIK, there's no such thing as "Classic" version of OS9.
I believe if you originally formatted the HD in OS X with Disk Utility, and IF you did NOT check the box "Install OS 9 drivers" then you probably get an OS 9 installation that will only function as "Classic" emulation while booted in OS X. I'm pretty sure that selecting the option "Install OS 9 drivers" is required to create a bootable HD.
It might be possible to add the OS 9 drivers to the HD without reformatting the HD, but this can't be done from OS X with Disk Utility. You'd need to run the OS 9 program Drive Setup and select the option "Update drivers" and target the required drive WITHOUT reformatting the HD. I'd only recommend trying this if you have a complete backup of the HD, and absolutely require OS 9 to boot when it won't boot now.
