[G4] Catalog B-tree damaged ?

[Brian Conner]

I just received DiskWarrior 3.0 yesterday. It works great and _very_ fast. I
did have an issue with the SuperDrive after Rebuilding from the CD. As
Alsoft tells you in the ReadMe, when you Quit DW3 from the CD, the PowerMac
hangs, so you simply Shut Down manually (hold down the power button for 5
seconds or so.) When I rebooted, CDs and DVDs in the drive wouldn't show on
the desktop. I think what fixed it was to Repair Permissions.

As for your problem, if you have two drives and can install OS X on the 2nd
drive so you could boot from it, I think you could use the downloaded
DiskWarrior 3, which is available from http://www.alsoft.com and fix the
Cats and B-Trees today. You would order "Download & CD" DW3 for $79.95,
download it and install on the 2nd drive, then boot from the 2nd drive, so
you can repair your 1st drive.

For delivery of the CD, Alsoft is way back ordered. I ordered my copy over a
month ago.

HTH.

After a recent MS Explorer crash, I ran Symantec (Norton) Disk Doctor.
Without success, as it stopped with error 23019. Apple Disk Utility said my
disk "appeared to be fine".  Symantec Online Technical Support informs me
that 23019 means that the  Catalog B-tree is damaged, and the solution is to
back up and reformat.

Are there any ways to fix this without backing up and reformatting?  Would
Micromat Drive10 fix it? SubRosa Soft DiskGuardian? (DiskWarrior X is not
currently available). 

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
