Hi Dan, Thanks for the advice. I know about aliases, have been working with Macs for 18 years. The question marks aside the apps themselves don't work when I open them in ther real folders.
My disks seem to be fine. Sorry I couldn't learn anything new this time. What does input/output error actually mean? That the file is busy when being cloned? Can I just look up the BootX file on an installer CD and replace the flaky one with that? Regards, Jörg.
