<div>Disk Utility told me the drive couldn't be unmounted (even
though its not the boot disk). So I started the machine off a 10.3
Install CD. That copy of Disk Utility said the volume was OK.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I've also tried Disk Warrior 3.0.2 on this with no success
that's why I'm now reluctantly "peeking under the hood".</div>

Einstein never accepted quantum mechanics because of this element of
chance and uncertainty. He said, "God does not play dice."
It seems that Einstein was doubly wrong. The quantum effects<br>
of black holes suggests that not only does God play dice, He sometimes
throws them where they cannot be seen. --Steven Hawking<br>
