Weird System Behavior - G4, System X and 9.x

I have a G4 with System X and 9.x, and I can only go online
under 9.x but not System X.

Also, my CD drive ejects every disk inserted, after cranking
and grinding while considering it.

Here's a brief history:

Until a week or so ago both systems would let me go online.
I had some problems (I forgot what now) so I used various
disk repair utilities including Disk Utility, Norton Utilities,
and TechTools. The problem of going online started immediately
after TechTools did its repairs and I couldn't get online in
either OS 9 or OS X. Finally, I re-installed (Clean install)
software for it, and that allowed me to go online under
System 9.x, only.

I was able to make the installation only because I had saved
an image of the system installation disk as the drive ejects
every disk.

Should I try to use an image of System X installation disk
to renew System X?

Can you please tell me why this happened and how to fix it?
