Ouch! Surely there must be a workround for this.. I know for example when Apple started labelling the disks for specific computers instead of sending out plain 9 and OSX discs - you could find the component on the disk to do what you want and install on another machine. I guess no go here. Oh wait a second.. If you boot into OS9 you should still be able to turf the X installation and have your space back. Is there a problem doing it that way? Maybe call support like PaulaTx1 suggested - maybe a OS9 CD will find it's way to you?
