Go it all done exactly as wanted.
But, I had to install a clean OS X (did this in the new 9.1 partition. Installed Carbon Copy Cloner from my 512MB Fat32 USB bar, Ran it - cloned the old OS X from its disk mounted in a firewire external case, to the new OS X parttion & set it as the boot disk & up it came exactly as it had been before the upgrade.
Now to clone old 9.1 to the new 9.1 partition.
CCC proved a great tool
