Good advice. IMO, Tech Tool is good if you want to show gee-whiz benchmarks, or as a coaster, but nothing much more technical than that. Disk Warrior worked great the last version I bought, which was a couple years ago for a 9.2 volume on a B/W that Eudora 5 mangled, but at that time they still could not work with non-mounted partitions or volumes, so workflow was to use Norton to get something mounted, then use DiskWarrior. Now I believe they can even work with unmounted partitions and drives (someone confirm deny?) and it is at this time one of the best utils. B -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
