I had to boot into OS 9 so i could play some playstation games on vgs and when i changed to boot to OS 9 it freaked out and i get a folder with a question mark. So heres my problem i have no osx cd becuase the ones apple sent me are dead (already called them and im getting new ones) and i dont want to wait to get it fixed... Is there any way i can get back into OS X with out reinstalling it?
 
Did you install OS and 9 on different disks or partitions?
If so then just press the <ALT> key during boot to let Apple's boot manager let you switch.

Hold the 'Option' key at the 'bong' and see what your boot choices are.
