G4 Dual (mirror doors), 867MHz, 2GB, 260GB total storage, 10.3.2 As I mentioned in my first cry for help, I ran Disk Warrior, which hung up at Step 6 (creating optimized replacement directory)---against all impulses, I allowed DW to chew on Step 6 for over 4 hours; whereupon it announced that it COULD NOT continue with replacing the directory, even though many critical values had been repaired. DW suggested that I run the application again...and again...and again, apparently in an endless loop. Earlier this morning, Kyle suggested that I try Data Rescue X, and this was a breakthrough, of sorts. DRX took some 45 minutes to locate about 77GB of recoverable files from the volume, including the most vital files that I was trying to salvage----only problem is that the content is screwy on many of the files, and they will require tweaking. Again, it seems essential that I add another storage device, simply to store the recovered material. This is an ongoing emergency, folks, so feel free to make additional suggestions.
