My file maintenance procedure, for either OS 9 or OSX has been to run DiskWarrior prior to doing a backup...unless there was an immediate problem, which was seldom. In OSX it takes about 7 minutes to boot from the CD. In OS 9 (another version of diskwarrior), it works super-quick. The reason I boot from the CD is so I can run it on both hard drives (OSX & 9.2.2) in the same session. Happy Holidays! jonny
