G4 Dual (mirror doors), 867 MHz, 2GB, 260GB total storage,
10.3.2

Well, this tops off a week of problems.  While running
Norton Disk Doctor on one of my subordinate internal drives
(not the startup, but an IMPORTANT drive nonetheless), the
system crashed just as I selected Fix Volume Header Block.
 When I rebooted, the drive no longer appeared on my
desktop.  I launched Norton Disk Doctor again---and Disk
Doctor can SEE the drive, but says it can't fix it.  I ran
Disk Utility---same thing, Disk Utility can SEE the drive
but says it can't repair it.  I ran Norton Volume Recover,
which could only find 214 recoverable files (a drop in the
bucket), but I can't even recover THOSE files because, get
this, they are now 10.2 TB in size.  That's Ten Point Two
Terabytes.  No way.  Finally, I ran Disk Warrior, which
seems to hang interminably at Step 6---Constructing
Replacement Directory.  To me, it sounds like the Volume
Header Block is hopelessly scrambled on that volume---BUT I
MUST RETRIEVE CERTAIN FILES from the volume, and failure is
not an option.  Job security HANGS on this one, guys---I
need the Pros from Dover!!
