Update- Mac OS X HD is back...I just used Disk Utility per Rob K.
When I rebooted from old HD, it still just shows Mac OS X...no OS 9 partition. I think I have everything off OS 9 partition...guess I could just reformat it? Does anyone know if AOL Mac OS X is not a good thing for me to install? I only have problems when I run that it seems. Thanks everyone! Been sick all weekend and tired of thinking about this for the moment...have a good night!
