My G3/400 iMac's main hard drive has OS 9.2.2 and Tiger on it on the same partition - I mainly use OS 9.2.2. I ran Norton Disk Doctor v6.0.2 and it corrupted the drive which nothing could fix. I even booted up with the OSX install disc and ran Disk Utility but no joy. Only when I'd recovered the "undo" file of Norton's using Data Rescue v4.3 could I get Norton to apply that file and restore my drive to the way it was before it messed it up. It now works fine.
So, a question... for routine maintenance of this "mixed-mode" hard drive should I:- a) Forget Norton and run Apple's Disk First Aid under OS9? b) Use the OSX Startup Disc and run Disk Utility under OSX? c) Use another program like TechToolPro (OS9 or OSX?) P.S: My external firewire disc only has OS9 on it so should THIS be maintained under OS9 or OSX? Thanks. Kev -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
