Newbie with a classic problem

Hi,
I have system 10.3.9 installed with classic with which I haven't really had many problems, but today it has told me that it cannot launch classic as system 9 is not installed on the computer - It has been working fine up until today.

There is a folder called System Folder on the Hard drive along with sytem X and applications folder, so does anyone have any ideas how I can get it to recognise that there is in deed a system 9 installed?

Regards

Geographytutor
