After 24 hours of flawless operation on my G3, I had a situation occur when I copied a file from my CD-ROM to my second partition. I have a 7 Gig main partition, and a 30 Gig second partition.
Out of the blue, an alarming series of clicks came from the hard drive, as if the heads were moving full distance back and forth about 10 times. Then, the system basically froze except for the mouse. I rebooted, and it booted directly to my second hard drive which has OS 8. I then booted off an OS 9.2 CD and ran disk check. Both the main and second partitions had "overlapping nodes" and could not be fixed. The second partition didn't even mount.
I did various searches in Google for "overlapping nodes" and such but found nothing relating to this. I don't know where to begin, so I am asking here. I am pretty new with Macs, so this message is not something I have seen before.
Can this be fixed with another utility?
