Having the same problem...can't find MOL though I had it checked of when

I've already got a full install of OS 9.2.2 on half of my hard disk. Now 
I have to install it again on the Mac side? I suspect I'd have a

Does this workaround actually install another copy of OS9 or does it 
merely "repair" the installation?
