I have a very bad problem with my Power Macintosh G3 Mini Tower. I was using OS X when I decided I needed to boot to OS 9 just to see if my sound worked in 9 because it wasn't in X. So I went to reboot and OS 9 starts up and gives me an error "Sorry, A System error has...blah blah" So I retart several times. Then I try to reboot to OS X. I CAN'T! I have tried holding down X I have tried holding down OPTION. I can't go back to OS X 10.1.5! 
I don't know why! SO now I open up the computer, I unplug an IDE cable that leads to noplace, and I put my SCSI cable back in (it had been pulled out the wire is sorta short) So then I start up, it comes up with a System Bus error. Now I get mad, it tells me to restart so I do, now it just gives me a white blank window. So now I startup via the Mac OS 9 CD (The CD has 9.0 I am running 9.2 does it matter) Well it is starting up through the CD, I can tell because the backround says CD on it. Well now a blank error box pops up too! Ok now I can care less about OS 9 I want my files! So how can I get back to Mac OS X, I would HATE! To lose all my files! I tried starting up from teh OS 9 Disc and teh OS X disc and I have used disk first aid and disk utility, and nothing. I am really in a bad potion here, my iBook has nothing but what it came with because I am getting ready to install Jaguar if I get it for X-Mas so I need to use my G3. I am really in a pickle, should I go to the Apple Store? Whould they even help me? I meen the warenty is long since passed since this refirbished machine only had a 30 Day one. Please help ANY advice would be great...
