Actually, in OS 9, I have had good luck with Disk Doctor. It may
take multiple runs, each time getting a little further. I may
skip Media Check so it concentrates on the Disk Directory.
Usually, the hardest thing is to capture the partition, so don't
give up. Often, Norton will capture (i.e. mount) a partition that
Disk First Aid can't. Yes, Disk Warrior is good, best run from
the CD itself, if possible. Lastly, for OS 9, you still have some
mounting utilities. Again, they often capture a partition that
Disk First Aid can't in my experience. Good luck.
If you use an OS 9 Utility on a disk partitioned and maintained by
OS X, I believe it could easily mess things up badly for OS X.
Guru's advice needed ...
Never run Norton Disk Doctor on a drive that has OSX on it, the
damage will probably be beyond repair. But Data Rescue 3 probably can
get the info off, then wipe the HDD and restore.
