I'm up-mixed...
Can she not do a clean install on a new disc [Period]?
Then...
Boot to the new disc/OS and get 'what she needs' from the 'failing disc'?

I 'had' 10.3.9 and skipped the above...

Why not "hook up new disc"
then _do a clean install of Tiger on new disc_

(then go back and grab any data from old disc)

...even with my 'old OS' and apps on 'another (old) disc'?
When I did a clean install of Tiger (on a new disc) I had access to all 
the data and was able execute the apps on the 'old disc'.

I'd put 'everything' behind me (Well, I did start clean w/ a disc and a 
new OS)...
Then I went to the old disc (after booting to the new OS/disc) and 
'grabbed' what I needed from the old disc.

[I did 'clone'...found it not necessary & the above is was a 'shortcut' 
with a seemingly good result...IE: New disc, new OS and I salvaged apps 
& data from old disc....]

Um, she 'can't do' that, eh?
