Btw, did you make sure to install Mac OS 9 drivers to the HD when you did a clean install? (That is, if you reformatted the drive as well.)
In all honesty, Classic Environment was not working before I performed a clean install (and yes, that is exactly what I did). Every time it tried opening, it said that the Quicktime version installed on the hard drive was not compatible with it. In addition, it would give me a script error of some sort (I probably should have taken a screen shot of it before I cleared the drive).
If you can't boot from the disc, the copy probably wasn't done properly. You could try to make a disk image of it and try to "re-bless" the System Folder and re-burn it.
I tried installing OS 9 from this disc on my 5215CD, and I received an error causing it to end the installation process. So it would appear that the disc does not work (although I do have the original folder copies I made on my MBP). Re-bless? I have never heard of that term before.
