iMac G3 OS 9/ OS X Troubleshoot

Hi all, I had recently got a iMac G3 with OS 9.2.1 and the downloaded version of OS X 10.1. The operating systems are under one partition, but are different startup OS systems. I had clicked on the OS 10.1 not knowing it would not boot. It is stuck in a startup screen with a cracked folder, and there is no way I can get back to the OS 9.2.1. Is there any way that I can get back to that OS without having to get a new hard drive or download the OS again?


I much appreciate the help.
