If I boot using an OS 9 drive (ata) and use Silverlining Pro to mount the drive it I can then run OS 9's disk repair utility which doesn't find any problems with the drive. Once mounted using Silverlining I can copy files from the disk (I've rescued some files this way). Silverlining tells me that the driver for this disk need to be repaired which would require it being re-initialized, which I'm trying to avoid. Once mounted in OS 9 I can choose it as the startup disk, although when I get the Apple startup screen everything looks fine until the Apple turn to a circle with a slash through it. At this point I need to restart using a different drive.
If I could get the drive mounted in OS X I could probably use techtool, disk warrior or Apple's disk utility to repair the drive. Does anyone know of a OS X disk mounting utility besides Apple's disk utility that will only work it I re-initialize the drive?
Thank you for any ideas.
