If you been able to backup "everything that seems to matter" just erase the partition and check it with Disk Utility and then do whatever you need to do to it. If it was a System partition do a clean installation, if not, transfer back whatever you need. As an aside, I once had a similar problem where Disk Utility and Disk Warrior failed, and I finally got Tech Tool Pro to repair the partition. It took 12 or 16 hours to repair, which I realized I could have done a complete reinstallation of a clean System and transferred everything I needed from backup in less time, so I decided that next time I get a problem that can't be solved by Disk Utility or Disk Warrior in "short time", I'm wiping and doing a clean install. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
