I think this is coincidental and not cause & effect. I suspect your HD
is going bad, perhaps the fan on you iBook has stopped and the HD has
overheated? On a modern G4 iBook with SATA HD it's NOT common to have to
run Disk Warrior "each time you update", so I'm pretty certain you're
looking at a hardware issue, not a software issue.
You may be right, I'd check it out and see if that's the case; about the
HD. The fan works because I heard it taking off when I was trying to
reboot the book.
You could reinstall the 10.5.8 Combo Update to "refresh" your System
Software without resorting to a full System reinstallation. I suspect
you're going to be having future problems anyways, and may want to be
searching for another HD ASAP. Make sure the fan is working also.
I will have to find the combo update. I will never install if from
Apple's website. I have it downloaded some place here.
Thanks for the tips.
