About Harry's questions, as far as I'm able to respond: DiskWarrior 3 is built for OS X, while the earlier 2.1 can work on OS X volumes, but apparently rather slowly. My experience with it in 9.x is that it can recognize & repair damage and recover files that Norton's Disk Doctor often misses; I've not really compared it with the venerable Disk Utility. I don't know whether a Panther-ready version is in the works, or whether (or how) it works differently in X than it does in 9. Norton SystemWorks 2.0 includes "DiskWarrior Recovery Edition," which seems expressly aimed at letting you copy files from a directory-damaged disk to another disk without repairing the original disk; this is a stripped-down version of the real thing, which can straighten out messes like overlapping files and the consequences of violent extension bickering as well as recover data to the original disk. Any more information on the differences between the versions is more than welcome as I cogitate on how to spend my utilities budget. Best, Joyce MacDonald
