If you have Macs that are fairly new, then OS 9 is not pre-installed, and can be installed with the Disk 2 of the discs that shipped with a new Mac. If yours are older, then check on the hard drive for the existence of a folder named System Folder, and another named Applications (Mac OS 9). Those two will tell you that you do have OS 9. Not too likely if Classic doesn't work, so it will need to be loaded.
Hopefully you don't have an application that requires booting to OS 9. On Macs since Mar 2003? that probably won't happen.
