You may be out of luck. I asked some people at work and here was one
of the responses:<br>

I was getting the exact same error on my powerbook last week. I took
it in to the Genius Bar, and after some investigation, they agreed that
the hard drive was dying. So, I am currently without a powerbook as
the hard drive is being replaced under warranty.

<pre wrap="">I have a G-4 iMac (the one whose base is half a basketball) and am running
10.3.9. I have an external Firewire drive with a duplicate of the hard drive
connected to the iMac.
Yesterday my computer was acting erratcially and kind of slow. (I have lots of RAM.) SO I decided to run Disk Permissions. The Verify Disk permissions reached a certain point and would not go any further. So I tried the force quit (command/option/escape) ---- just got that %&$#@ spinning beachball! So I turned off the iMac with its switch. It was very slow to boot up ----- first the dock......then menu on left side.......then desktop..... then menu stuff on right side...... finally date and clock. Then I tried to just Repair Permissions. It got so far and stalled. Repeated this procedure about 3 times!
Tried Disk Warrior and it said there was an error and couldn't fix it.
Tried using the Panther install disk to Verify Disk and got this message: Error: the underlying task reported failure (-9972)
Can anyone tell me what might be wrong and and how to fix it?
