if you've got dual boot w/both os's on the same disk (partitions don't fix)
then osx will, WILL write a huge swap file overwriting your os9 stuff if you
start running low on gigs free on the drive. The only solution long term is
to have the dual boot on totally seperate drives. If you can salvage your
stuff cool, i used techtool pro to do but that only worked for so long, hear
disk warrior is better, don't know for sure, do know it neither will fix
this long term if you're dual boot on one drive. In any case apple no longer
tests for os9 at least not in a dual boot on the same drive config and there
aren't really any clear warnings (there might be but i didn't see them) lost
data on boot and external firewires as a result.

hope this helps,
