While on the G4, click once on the OS 9 HD, Get Info [cmd-I]; next to 
"Ownership and Permissions" turn the reveal tringle down if necessary, 
and click on "Ignore ownership on this volume" and that should allow 
you to drop stuff  onto that volume. This opens a huge security hole, 
btw. If it were me, I'd use the /Users/Shared folder, that's what it's 
for.
ciao,
Vince
