OS9 install question & transfer question

Hi
Reading through these forums I am hoping that someone here can advise me on this problem.
I just bought a used tower G4 with twin chips & OS10.35 installed.
It did not come with any disks.
When I attempted to run OS9 I received a message that OS9 was not installed - I assume that the last owner removed it.
I have an OS9.22 system disk from another computer, but have been told that I cannot use that because the OS9 that the computer needs is a modified version that is on thew OS10 disk - which I don't have.
Any ideas?

Also, I want to connect my old G3 to the new G4 to transfer the data and programs, but the book says that I should do this with firewire and that both computers should be running OSX. My old computer is too old and not enough memory to run OSX.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Tony Roberts
