If your were local I'd pop round with mine.

;) bit of a walk me thinks

However the value of data suggests to me that an external Firewire drive to which one can clone AND boot from - as well as a copy of DiskWarrior are
very good safety nets. in my humble opinion ;-)

i've got a LaCie d2 Hard Drive Extreme which a good work tool - its very fast on firewire 800 on my alpb1Ghz15" - diskwarrior's next on my list (considering i've now got two macs in the cue to fix!)

BTW - if Classic Boots OK then the physical HD is likely not the culprit.

I'll back up and try a restore. the fault was initially caused by mail bombing out for some reason. i've noticed that osx is dead solid unless something random kills it.
