Thanks, Drew. DiskWarrior is my tool of choice, too, especially for preventive maintenance. I was just asking oin case there was somehthiung I hadn't heard about. I do use Norton and Tech Tool Pro fairly often, though, but always Diskwarrior before AND after! Norton 4 was a really bad one, but I have had good results with Systemworks on my OS 9 Macs.
