Re: HELP Norton Says There's An Error!!

[Hamlin Krewson]

I believe that to be a normal occurrence. Norton v5 is not in any way 
used to the file/directory structure of OS X (let alone prepared to 
repair problems within X directories), and will likely report errors 
when there are none. Tell FileSaver to stop scanning that volume. Pick 
up a repair utility designed for X. Norton, Diskwarrior and TechTool 
(Drive10) all have versions for X.

Drive10 is okay, but unless they've hidden them somewhere it seems to 
lack some of the functionality and versatility of its predecessor.

Diskwarrior excels at directory repair, and is adequate at file 
structure repair.

Norton seems the exact opposite of DW, in that its weakness is 
directory repair while it excels at file structures. This can cause 
massive problems if your directory structure is fouled up.

I've only ever had a problem with one of these, and that was 
Diskwarrior. Once out of about 2000 uses, it repaired the directory and 
lost all of the files in the process. Other than that, I have complete 
faith in all of them but usually recommend a combo of DW and Norton.
