Tiger upgrade and OS 9

[Spakman]

I posted a question concerning this topic to the help section over the weekend and gratiously received a response. I'm not sure, however, if I asked the correct question, so I thought I'd try again. I'm about to upgrade my PB from 10.3.9 to 10.4.X. Classic is installed on the drive, but I can't boot into it (it shows up as a tab in the System section of System Preferences. When I perform the Tiger upgrade, what steps do I need to take in order to not lose Classic? Will simply copying the 9 system folder and OS 9 Applications folder and pasting back once Tiger is installed suffice? I'm way out of my league.

Thank you

A Tiger upgrade will not affect Classic in any way. If you wipe your hard drive and reinstall your OS instead, then you have problems. Do a regular upgrade and Classic will be fine.

Thank you for the response. IF I were to wipe the drive and do a clean install, how would I proceed? Could I copy the folders as I said before and then re-copy them back? Or would I have to do some other kind of install? I only ask because the upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3 was also done via archive and install, and having one good fresh installation seems reasonable at this point.
