OK, thanks Steve. I wish I had known that earlier as we mounted and
remounted the drive how many times :-( Not your fault though. I had
thought that it would be smart as I had run DiskWarrior for about 18
hours and it didn't look like it was getting any closer to being
finished. The HD is around 150 GB.
