Installing OS 9 on Tiger

I had an older version of OS X originally installed on my iBook that came with the Classic Environment. I recently upgraded to Tiger but now I no longer have OS 9. I still have my original install disks so how do I re-install OS 9 without losing any of my files. Can I install OS 9 and still start up with Tiger? Do I have to install OS X too?

iBook, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I just tried starting up in OS 9 and it worked! The game worked perfectly, I was so excited! I didn't realize that starting up in OS 9 was possible. I thought my only option was Classic.
Thanks so much!
