bobw- thanks for the speedy reply!! What would you say 'a while' is? 5-6 hours? longer?

So I have a 12" Powerbook 867 MHz, and I have been running Disk Warrior on it for quite some time now. Today when I ran Disk Warrior it seems to get stuck on step 6: "Constructing optimized replacement directory..." Nothing freezes up (the progress bars are still moving), but it has been on...

Yup I bet that is the problem. I bought DVD+R, not DVD-R I didn't even realize there was a difference when I bought them!!??

I am pretty sure it is only a 1x writer, so most DVD-Rs should work?? These say that they should.

It seems to work for a while, but it never appears in the desktop, then it spits it back out. Yes, I did check the preferences for what I want it to do when i insterted it and that is all fine. Still stumped....

Hey, I have a 867 mhz 12" powerbook with a superdrive and for some reason the drive will not accept blank DVDs. It still plays movies and reads burned DVDs. I ran the disk utility, but to know avail. Anyone have any ideas??

So I have a file that has about 40 .rar files in it. I opened one of these files with Unrar program that was recommended on this site, but then I get a .nrg file. These are supposed to be videos, but I can't seem to get them to work. What is a .nrg file? Can mplayer make them work? Thanks!!

Is there any software out there that would allow me to monitor any computer that might be using my wireless network from my airport express? I am just curious if any computers are using it. -granthac

Okay so this thread may be wondering a bit... Doug, thanks for the help!! Thanks for being elementary too!! I'm still learning. I tried to safe boot and that did not work to solve the problems that Norton claims I have. I tried doing the 'command-s' thing as well and entered 'fsck -y' about...
