I am doing this from memory. Try clicking on the apple in the top left, and click on system prefrences (I think that is what it is called), click on start-up disks'. If OS9 is still installed than it should show up there. You can choose it as the start-up disk and restart from there. Then go to system prefrences in the startup disk and do the same thing to get back to OS10.3
