That is correct Kunga, But I still recomend trying to start from OS9. I have had this exact problem on two Macs, and a trip through OS9 with DW3 was my only fix. Installing a newer OSX over the old did not work. A wipe and install would work, but it would take the data out. You can save the data to a CD and then wipe the disk. Once certain, seemingly small, volume problems arise Newer Mac OSs (9.0 on ) are iffy on booting to a CD. They are even iffy booting to other volumes and partitions. Having "volume wrapper" problems seem to make booting to any CD a real pain. The DW3 is for OSX; But!! It must boot to it's self to run repairs. When you have this "volume wrapper" problem it is easier to run from a second volume or partition than it is to get a CD to boot. It is easier to get the Mac to reboot to a OS9 volume or partition than it is getting it booted to a OSX volume or partition. ...........I don't know why.........Dw3 will work on an OSX disk from a OS9 disk or volume just fine.
