[G4] spinning ball 1 & 2

[Gregg Mastorakos]

I got back to my office and here are the error codes I referred to in my 2nd 
post below.

The error for the boot disk was
"key out of order"
"Error: the underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)"

The error on the 2nd disk was "invalid number of allocation blocks"
"Error: the underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)"
What can I do from here?

Thanks, Gregg

2nd Post
"Thanks for your responses....
Now I'd like to up the ante.... Now 2 partitions on two different drives
won't mount. I have two harddrives with several partitions on each. Before I
read your responses I ran disk utility and was able to "repair permissions"
and "repair disk" all but one partition on the two drives, the one with OS
10.2.6 on it. I booted up on my 10.3 disk (I use 10.2 because some of my
often used software won't run on 10.3) and ran Disk Warrior. That is when a
non boot partition on the other drive disappeared, the error code is at my
office but it was something like  (-97705), I can post the actual code and
error response when I get to office tmo."
