Out of curiosity I had DW graph the partition and saw that it was
25% out of order and decided to rebuild the directory (using
DiskWarrior). DW's progress in rebuilding was perceptible but
extremely slow. I had to turn off my monitor and leave for work and
hopefully, the rebuilding will be done when I return later to the
computer and I'll be able to replace the old directory. Does this
slow rebuilding progress sound normal? With OS9, DW would be done
its work in a few minutes, tops. Does it sound like I should have
just reinstalled OSX? Should I not bother w/ installing Classic
Environment? I'm not even sure I have it.
It depends:
40 gigs could be considered pretty big, depending upon the extent of
the corruption (25%!!) and the speed of the processor.
And the amount of RAM. Don't forget, X eats RAM for breakfast.
Sounds like DW had its work cut out for it.
