Hi, 'Bookers.
Running OS 8.6 on a 1400 I have encountered a message that Disk
First Aid cannot repair my HD due to "Invalid Node Structure, 4,
1656."
I've Googled the problem and Disk Warrior ($80 for each computer in
the house!) is recommended. Also Norton. An archives search reveals
no prior discussion of this problem in these lists.
My question, listers, is: Does anyone have a cheap workaround for
this? or, alternately, is Disk Warrior a must-have app?
_______________
When I got my 1400 last year I had the same problem.
This list recommended the DiskWarrior route. That was too hard to do
at that time. I could use SCSI disk mode so I copied the files I
wanted to another drive and then installed (.1 at that time.. This
was because I couldn't get to storage for my OS 8.5 disk at the time.
I am not sure if DW would have solved the problem. Perhaps it would.
You may try the swap list. I finally got DiskWarrior there. For less
than you quote. And since I run it from the CD and it is not
installed on any machine I only need one copy. You need use it on a
non-boot drive anyway.
Never did find out what the "Invalid Node Structure " really meant or
how it got htat way.
Never saw the error before or since. the OS install. Reformatted to
HFS+ anyway.
I would recommend a similar backup via SCSI disk mode if possible
and a reinstall of 8.6 .
Unless you want to spend money and time.
