George, I seem to have gone to seed over Disk Warrior and TechTools Pro. I would try booting from a Disk Warrior disk and seeing if rebuilding the directory will help, then I would run the entire suite of TechTools over your drive. I have brought many a computer back from the dead with these two programs, favoring Disk Warrior to be used first and then TechTools. When you start TechTools, before you begin the Suite for going through all the test go into the settings and turn off Journaling, when the program is completely done you will need to go back and turn Journaling back on before you eject the disk.
Also there is a box to check under the files menu to "repair files" so when it does get to that point in the suite it will repair as it goes. John John On May 29, 2009, at 12:20 PM, George H.
