Fahrvergnuugen
I am the law!
I woke up this morning, tried to check the weather and noticed that everythingw as running really slow. I tried to quit a few applications....some of them would quit and others would hang. One ap told me that it couldn't write to its prefs file....
The whole system ended up locking and I had to hit the restart button.
The system restarted, but in OS9. My OSX Drive was not mounted. I have 3 drives, one for OSX, one for OS9 and one as a scratch disk.
I rebooted again, this time I held down the option key. My OSX drive showed up as a boot choice. OSX made it as far as "checking network time" then it hung. I left it for a good 20 minutes, then it died with a kernel panic.
After restarting, the drive no longer showed up in the boot menu.
Disk Warrior will not attempt to fix any drive that isnt mounted on the OS9 desktop [if someone knows otherwise, please tell me].
Apples Disk first aid will not try and fix a drive that isn't mounted either...I tried booting to the 10.1 cd and running it from there, but the OSX drive does not show any partitions under it, so the veryfy / repair buttons are greyed out.
I have Norton 6.0 [running in classic] and I am in the middle of "Volume Recover". I tried running the Disk Tool. I forced it to show unmounted drives and sure enough, my OSX drive appeared in the list. Disk tool verified the partition map, but says that the part of the drive that knows how many files are on it, is missing. I can post the exact error message after the volume recover is finished "searching" whatever that means.
Does anybody have any ideas? I'm desperate here. If I could just mount the drive in OS9 and copy some of my files, i could initialize the drive and start over.
I don't even know why the thing when to hell.
