Help! My OS9 System Folder is no longer recognised as a valid startup folder. Initially I simply got a folder with alternating ? and the MacOS face flashing when attempting to boot in Classic. I could at this stage still start Classic from the OSX environment. Now, however the OS9 System Folder is not recognised at all. This is what I have done:
-repaired privileges from the OSX install disk a number of times
-ran Norton DiskDoctor 8.0.2 (151) -as part of SystemWorks 3 in both 9 and X (see below)
-ran DiskWarrior 3.0.3 -no problems
-ran Cron scripts
I booted from a backup Pocket Drive on which both the 9 and X folders were recognised but now the OS9 System Folder on THAT TOO is not recognised. Here are some more info from those utilities used:
2004-06-16 16:56:41 -0700 - Repair of privileges has started
Permissions differ on ./usr/share/man/man1/less.1, should be -rw-r--r--,
they are -r--r--r--
Owner and group corrected on ./usr/share/man/man1/less.1
Permissions corrected on ./usr/share/man/man1/less.1
Permissions differ on ./usr/share/man/man1/more.1, should be -r--r--r--,
they are -rw-r--r--
Owner and group corrected on ./usr/share/man/man1/more.1
Permissions corrected on ./usr/share/man/man1/more.1
2004-06-16 17:00:02 -0700 - The privileges have been repaired on the selected volume.
The files when looked up in the Finder actually have slightly different names, and there are four files with similar names;
./usr/share/man/man1/bless.1
./usr/share/man/man1/bzless.1
./usr/share/man/man1/bzmore.1
./usr/share/man/man1/zmore.1
and they all have the following Ownership and Permissions:
Owner: System
Access: read & write
Group: wheel
Access: read only
Others: read only
If I repair the privileges again I get the same report, over and over again. Privileges are never changed.
Norton DiskDoctor when booted in OS9 picked up half a million files with bad backup dates, and initially also the following problems with the OS9 System Folder:
Check System Folder
A major error was found in the Boot Blocks.
The signature is incorrect.
(16,1,1)
The problem was fixed.
A major error was found in the Boot Blocks.
The system name is bad.
(16,1,2)
The problem was fixed.
A major error was found in the Boot Blocks.
The event queue size is bad.
(16,1,11)
The problem was fixed.
When booted in OSX Norton found no problems
Im running a G4 Powermac with a Sonnet 1.4GHz processor and a Radeon 9000 Pro graphics card and 640 Mb RAM under 10.2.8
I checked the threads on this site but couldn't find anything which helped me. Pleeease anyone?
