G3/450, 80GB Seagate master, 120GB Seagate slave, OS 10.3.4 on both drives, TTP3 just rebuilt both directories, all seems great with TTP CD in place, restart results in gray screen with flashing question mark folder, followed by apple (no clock), soon followed by a white-on-black text message displayed above the apple as follows:
Try holding the option key during boot and select one or the other disks as startup and see what happens.
I fear, badly that "TTP3 just rebuilt both directories" is a bad, bad sign. Were they broken before they got fixed?
Ultimately, an Archive&Reinstall may be needed if the system folders on both disks are hosed.
Rule #1 of disk utilities like TTP or DiskWarrior: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
These utilities can save your butt (and have saved mine and many others' numerous times) but can cause problems when run inappropriately.
