Hi listers-
I'm out of ideas. My grand daughter had all her school projects and reports stored on the desktop of a 333 MHz Cherry tray loader running 10.3.8. She did a normal shutdown from the menu at night and the next morning the folder was no longer on her desktop. We checked to see if the folder slipped into another partition, there are 3 on an 80 GB drive. We did a search for a number of files as well as the folder name. She ran DiskWarrior... and I ran it a 4 more times. DW said we didn't have enough room on the partition to replace the new directory and to make room for 51 Megs. We did that but this really wasn't true since we have 2.5 GB on that partition. After we made room it told us it still needed 50 megs more. I did the directory replacement by overlaying it over the old one. Every thing seems to be working ok but the files are still missing. I ran TechtoolPro and everything passed... but when I tried a particular test, a file directory search and repair, it froze each time about 1 3rd of the way into the test. In addition to the above I also ran permission repairs and turned all the invisibles on to see if something was hanging around. No nothing. I can't believe they all disappeared. They should be around but the computer must have lost it's links to the files???
Any further ideas? I wish I had a copy of Norton that worked.
