A G4 PowerBook which I have, running 10.4.11, has been playing up lately -
very slow to the point of being unusable.

I've repaired disk permissions, and there seemed to be a lot of permissions
repaired. But it didn't seem to make much difference overall. So I've ran
Disk Utility, starting up from the install disk, and the result is...

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)


Messages in the Disk Utility window, prior to that final error message,
which may have some relevance include..

Invalid node structure
Rebuilding Catalog B-tree


Any ideas as to what else I can do to get the PowerBook functional short of
taking it to an Apple repair centre or throwing it on the scrap heap? I'
reluctant to throw it on the scrap heap as it had a brand new hard disk only
two years ago, and a total screen replacement about a year ago. If I do have
to take it to an Apple Repair Centre, what are the options in Perth?

Many thanks, Steven
