But you can't start OS X? Sounds to me as an HFS problem. I had this
recently
on a firewire drive formated half ext3 and half hfs (for transfer
purposes).
And suddenly My Macs saw only one partition (and refudes to mount it at
that!).
The sad news is that I solved it by reformating (but there was nothing
vital
on these partitions so I did not look for another solution.
Anyway, does your OS X partition show under OS 9? If yes, you can at least
save your data. If no, you might try booting from the install CD and see
if
your OS X partition shows. If even that fails, I see no other option but
reinstalling.
