Got another drive or CD that has a copy of OS 9? If you do, you can simply
drag the OS 9 System Folder on to the OS X disk. Note; that this will work
for installing OS 9 but not for OS X. When you have the System Folder on the
OS X drive open the OS 9 preferences panel while in OS X and point Classic
at the OS 9 System folder. Tell it to rebuild it's desktop and you should be
good to go.
