It's either TTP or Drive 10, they're not the same app you know. Anyway did you use the most recent version of the app you used? > It just sits > at the blinking question mark.

It doesn't matter what the version on the CD is, because even version 2.1 can fix drives with OS 9 and OS X on the HD, used it last week on an older G4 here with HD problems. Also try disk utility or disk first aid if you have that on a bootable medium. I f.e. have imaged my DW CD and added disk first aid and some others, than burned it, that way I can use 'm all when booted from that CD. Also have you tried zapping the PRAM by holding down COMMAND-ALT-P-R at boot? Hold it untill you've heard three chimes, then release it. Sometimes this fixex the blinking mark question aswell. > > I'm thinking that Drive 10 must have damaged the system folder on OS > 9.2.2?

That would be your last option, but usually you can get it running by the options I suggested. * * -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
