Computer: G5 1.8Ghz single processor System 10.3.9 I just cannot repair the disk permissions on this mac. Each time I run the repair permissions it finds the same fault. Says that it it repaired - yet when I run it again, it finds the exact fault again - even though it says that its fixed - it is not. (Tried at least 12 times to repair) This is the exact text: Repairing permissions for ³Adie's Mac² Determining correct file permissions. We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays. New permissions are 16893 We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./Library/ColorSync/Profiles. New permissions are 16893 We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util.

New uid is 1 The privileges have been verified or repaired on the selected volume Permissions repair complete What I tried to do to get past the fault: Run the repair disk permissions from the start up disk as well as from Utilities. Run the fsck-fy Run Mac Janitor Run Yasu Tried to start up with my Disk Warrior CD but it would not boot Also tried to start up with the Norton Utilities CD but that would not boot either. As a last resort have done an Archive and install but alas, the problems still exist and just will not repair. Is there anything else I could try besides a total reformat? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Gen
