Classic still won't start

I'm really not that interested in the semantics of whether I'm booting 
or starting classic. My point is, I can't get classic to actually start 
-- it keeps giving me the following: "System Error type 102" and 
hanging. I'm frustrated and hoping for answers of how to get this 
working without wiping the hard drive and reinstalling everything.

Yes, there is a valid system folder -- otherwise I wouldn't be able to 
boot in 9.2.

Classic Startup doesn't help -- I still get the same error message!

I'm still hoping for suggestions!
