I installed OSX 10.3 following the installations in this order :

9.0->9.1->10.1->10.2->10.3 (all were upgrades except for 9.0 full)

I wanted then to install 10.4 so after double clicking on the install OSX icon it said restart your PC. On reboot I decided not to install took the DVD out before the install could start and now it will only boot into OS 9.1

Any way of fixing this problem without going through the installation from scratch ?

Thanks (I just wasn't thinking and yes I'm a newbie just experimenting with MacOSes)

Have you tried from OS 9 going to the Apple Menu->Control Panels->Startup Disk? Go there and select the Mac OS X folder and restart.

Try that

What Vicky said should work. I have done it 1000's of times. Try it, if it does not work, let us know.
