>Any recommendations re: better utility software: Norton , TechTool >Pro, or Disk Warrior? >Thanks DW - Arguably the best directory repair utility http://www.Alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html TT - Best solution for a broader array of hardware testing and software testing and repair. http://www.micromat.com/ http://www.drbott.com/prod/db.lasso?code=6802-TTP3 ...Dr. Bott use to give free shipping to DuoList members, since the ListMom owns the US franchise. ;-) Norton - I keep it around more from a 15 year habit than anything else, sometimes it can recognize drives the others don't...and mount them. Mostly I just hate giving money to Symantec. http://www.symantec.com/nu/nu_mac/index.html For best bang for the buck I'd lean toward TT if I could only have one product...and then I'd start saving for DiskWarrior. ;-) Ralph Mawyer, Jr. San Antonio, Texas Associate Editor mac2400 ... http://www.sineware.com/mac2400 Your PowerBook 2400 Reference Site "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
