For our aging machines, an external SCSI CD burner is a very handy thing to have. Using either Hard Disk Speel Tools or Disk Warrior CD, I boot up while holding down Ctr/Opt/Shft/Del keys to force boot from the external drive. This would allow you to boot up the machine without disturbing the internal hard drive. For your situation I would run DiskWarrior and then go ahead and run DiskOptimizer. Do you have access to an external SCSI drive as well as a copy of DiscWarrior ? -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
