I have a PowerMac 6100/66 with a G3/266 upgrade and OS 9.1, that I use as a "master" fileserver and research machine while I'm working on my other, older Macs. I have a couple hundred megabytes of software on there that I'd rather not loose (a lot of software when we're talking system 6 and 7). Recently, being the complete idiot I am, I ran an older version of Norton utilities on the harddrive and it "fixed" it for me. Unfortunately, this older version of Norton thinks HFS+ is an error that needs to be fixed. And, it did just that.
Now, I have to boot from the CD or a floppy, and I get an error -127 when I try and mount my hard disk using Drive Setup. Is there a way I can at least get to my files to copy them safely somewhere else before having to re-initialize? It would not be the end of the world if I could not recover those files, but it would absolutely suck because the original drives/disks that some of the software came on are gone or broken. Any help in recovering these files would be appreciated. I have another Mac (albeit an SE/30) with the same size hard drive that I can transfer everything via Network to, but I need to be able to access the files on the PowerMac first. -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
