I tried that, then chose the OS9 System folder as my startup disk and all hell broke loose . . . froze up like Dante's inferno might be a better way of putting it.

Symptoms:

On powerup, I get a file folder with alternately flashing question marks and OS9 logos in it.

If I option boot no choices at all come up when I hit the circular arrow (polls buses?) and nothing happens when I click on the right arrow.

That is really bizarre. I'm sorry that happened, but... sheesh. I've never had problems like that willy-nilly dragging OS 9 system folders from one hard drive to another. I wonder if the system folder from your G4 tower is corrupted somehow, or if that Firewire enclosure you have the disk in is causing trouble?
