And you were charged though they failed? My experience from people  
using a Norwegian recovering company is that they only charge for  
success.

If CCC or other back-up programs is over you head I don't understand  
what you mean by "everything is backed up" above.

Go to http://www.versiontracker.com and download CCC  
CarbonCopyCloner.  Make certain you have a formated, preferably  
Firewire, HD available and connected. Start the CCC and do as you're  
told. Choose the external HD as Target and your internal as Source  
and Go!  When done you should be able to choose the external OS X- 
version as Startup disk in your System preferences and restart. If  
the external then behave just as your internal you have a perfect  
clone and backup of your disc.

You can then safely with Disk Utility format your Internal drive and  
mark the disk to be OS 9 capable. After that comes possibly the  
tricky part. If you simply CCCs the drive content back again and then  
install Classic support there should be no problem. If you however  
want to install OS 9.2.2 first you should still be able to CCC the  
content from the external disc but you have to read the CCC  
information if you afterwards have difficulties logging in to your OS  
X on your internal disc. CCC prefer to be copied between cleaned disc  
and obviously your internal will not be clean if you have installed  
OS 9 on it.

See Q17 and its answer in the help section of CCC if this problem  
occurs.

Try Apples own suggestion in the first link I gave you above and see  
if it works before you do all the formatting and Copy Cloning above
