Hi listers-
I'm posting to this list because of the vast amount of knowledge it contains. Thanks to the knowledge of the people on this list, I was able to get my S900 to operate with OS 10.3.6, absolutely current, and have it run beautifully. The problem that I'm posting about is not machine related, it's software related... unless a hardware issue is hidden somewhere... but here it is, and I apologize in advance for going OT re the machine involved.
I'm out of ideas. My grand daughter had all her school projects and reports stored on the desktop of a 333 MHz Cherry tray loader running 10.3.8. She did a normal shutdown from the menu at night and the next morning the folder was no longer on her desktop. We checked to see if the folder slipped into another partition, there are 3 on an 80 GB drive. We did a search for a number of files as well as the containing folder name. She ran DiskWarrior... and I ran it 4 more times. DW said we didn't have enough room on the partition to replace the new directory and to make room for 51 Megs. We did that but this really wasn't true since we have 2.5 GB free space on that partition. After we made room, DW told us it still needed 50 megs more. I did the directory replacement by overlaying it over the old one. Every thing seems to be working ok but the files are still missing. I ran TechtoolPro and everything passed... except when I tried a particular test, a file directory search and repair; it froze each time about 1/3rd of the way into the test. In addition to the above I also ran permission repairs and turned all the invisibles on to see if something was hanging around. Found nothing. I can't believe they all disappeared. They should be around but the computer must have lost it's links to the files. ???
Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
