hm, I wonder if the Mac crashed during the first boot after Explorer crashed it? But 
yeah, that explanation figures :)

Bill!)

To be honest, I think that's bogus. Disk Warrior said the same about my drive when it 
was so toasted I don't think I even had a system folder *left* any more -- some bits 
of what used to be in there were all thrown in a big rescued items folder along with 
most of what else was recovered from the drive. Blessing that is about as good as 
trying to give a person run over and flattened by a steamroller, some paracetamol :)

Disk Warrior is probably reporting that whether it succeeds in the task or not. Still, 
it did a lot better than Norton which broke the drive to begin with (the reason being, 
it seems, that as it was trying to make repairs, it was making mistakes that caused 
more damage and it spiralled out of control until the directory was so destroyed only 
Disk Warrior could read what was left)
