I went ahead and opened the smi.9.2.1 updater & it verified successfully. I installed it, & everything seems to be OK. Then, I went with the 9.2.2 updater, & after StuffIt finished, it came back with an error. Something about a damaged disk (Macintosh HD). I went & clicked on smi.9.2.2, & it verified OK. Then, I did the install. Seems OK. The "checking Macintosh HD" (on bootup) after the hard-reset didn't find any errors. What is the preferred method of repairing disks? I heard bad things about some recent Norton. I've heard people recommend Diskwarrior. Is the latter THE way to address hard-drive diagnostics? I've also heard strong recommendations to get the full version of TechTool. B Yen -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
