OS9 Volume no longer bootable: backing up to other OS9 volume
733 g4 tower
60gb drive 1 OS9 partition
75gb drive mulitple partitions OS9 & OSX
i have a 60gb drive on my 733 g4 tower that used to be my main boot drive for OS9.
the other 75gb drive in the tower has an OS9 partition
and my current OSX partition.
i'm about to wipe the 60gb drive & do a clean 10.4 installation.
i was going to boot into it to clean & backup but
the 60gb drive can be seen but no longer booted into.
i want to backup my Outlook Express email databases
so i can open and save important emails on the other 75gb drive's OS9 partition.
i was trying to remember where all the database folders etc. are
maybe backup the system folder and think of any other strategy
that might help with this process.

Edit. Probably the same if you boot from an OS 9 cd and select the os 9 volume as the boot disk.
