When you erased the disk, did you check the 'Install Mac OS 9 Drivers' option?

just a quick tip for ya - posting the same thing in 4 different forums is not very good forum manners.

I reinstalled X 10.2 and didn't put the checkmark for OS 9 drivers (thinking I'd just use classic emulation somehow but never boot into it). Now I can't install classic (os 9.2.1 install cd) to get my old Sims game installed. How do I get those drivers on there? Do I need to reformat and re-do my whole X install too?
