Is there a way to install mac os9 on a PC?
No. It can be run in an emulator, but this is incredibly slow. It is probably also against Apple's EULA, though they likely no longer care about Mac OS 9.

Hold down the OPTION key when you restart and it will search for any BOOT-ABLE disk, CD or HD. Make sure your computer came with that OS9 disk or is a retail version AND is capable of using OS9 as it may not work other wise.
How to format second 80g hard drive for music studio applications and data storage the original 60g hard drive is partitioned for MAC OS9 and OSX?
It depends if you want the drive to be accessible from both OSes. If yes, then research what file system OS9 uses and format it with that. I think it's HFS. You're looking to have a file system on the drive that both OS9 and OSX can read, see? So if there's another file system that you prefer that both can read, you could use that, too. Making the secondary drive HFS+ will suffice. ----

Yes, as long as your iMac has Mac OS9 or higher.
What is the cost of upgrading your operating system form OS9 to OS X?
$29.00 US was what Apple used to sell OS Upgrades for. Depending on how old your computer is you may not be able to at all. If you can boot into os 9 then you can't go beyond 10.5. MacOS 10.5 is the last OS a non Intel computer can use. You can skip all the way to 10.5 if your computer supports it. You don't have to buy every single one. OS-10.6 and above is for the newer Intel processors only. Apple no longer supports 10.5 and older so you are going to have a hard time finding an upgrade that your computer can run. If you can find an online store that still sells upgrades then Apple still has the updates for them on their support site.
I Mac and you want to know if it is safe to remove OS 9 or is it needed to run your O S X?
Depending on what version you want to run. OSX 10.5 or newer - you must remove it. OSX 10.0-10.4 - you can if you want to. OS9 is not required to run OSX.
Is there a way to install Mac OS9 or OSX on Windows easily or play Mac games on a PC?
No, in fact it is illegal to hack the MAC Operating System for it to work on a normal Windows based machine. You probably don't even need to install MAC OS X, because most MAC games also have versions for Windows.
Difference between IBM and Apple computers?
Without getting into a PC vs Apple debate; the main difference between an IBM (PC) and an Apple PC, is the operating system. Apple computers run on Machintosh OSX (older apples might use an earlier OS version, such as OS9) while IBM PC's will run on Microsoft Windows operating systems, such as Windows Vista, Windows XP or the latest Windows 7. Apple computers generally are more expensive, and at the same time offer reliability. They are generally marketted to the Arts industry, such as music creators or graphic designers where as IBM PC's are generally marketted to businesses that require a robust framework on which to run their programs - most accounting software for example will only run on a Microsoft based operating system. Microsoft based computers are generally known for their value for money, whilst comprimising quality, where as Apple computer's are generally overpriced, but providing a much better user experience. There isn't alot of difference nowaday's anyway -- Mac's are coming down in price, and window's usability is skyrocketting with the release of Windows 7.
How do you get a G3 to recogize an external hard drive if the hardrive is connected but an icon won't appear on the desktop?
Under your system preferences, (Apple Menu > System) you should be able to change your "boot" drive to any connected device [or even from a CD-ROM]. Ensure the device is connected before starting up your Mac. Then change the drive. Restart and you're set. It's important to ensure that this device has at least an O.S. on it, so the computer knows what to do. You should also keep your O.S. system disc nearby in case this fails. Visit any Apple store (locate them at apple.com) and speak with someone at the Genius Bar for more details. But, I don't think this questioner wants to boot from the drive. I think that he/she just wants the G3 to "see" it. You could try powering up the external drive first, then starting the Mac it's connected to. If that doesn't work, try it the other way around. Can you tell us more about your computer? What model? Are you using OS9? You might want to be sure that the the external drive is a Slave drive IE; setting the jumpers on the pinouts. If you have a system on both drives, and the external is not set as a slave, your poor Mac will be very confused! If you're not sure how to set the jumpers, GOOGLE your drive's manufacturer and model number. Of course, it could very well be me that's confused! ;)
Is Mac OSX is a distribution of Linux?
OS X was forked from the FreeBSD 2.x/3.x branch. with kernel mods and the quartz userland. the various OS X releases have corresponding FreeBSD releases. it uses the FreeBSD mach microkernel with os9 compatibility. Darwin is the development builds of OS X versions. the FreeBSD guys backport OS X tech into their OS. OS X is opensource aside from the quartz userland. OS X also includes kernel components from the NeXT step operating system.
