Jabberwocky
A World Without Windows
A couple of days ago, my trusty TiBook froze - mouse wouldn't move, couldn't switch applications, nada. On restart, I noticed a couple of the apps in the dock had question marks behind them, i.e. the alias could not find the original. I opened the Applications folder and several were missing.
I booted from the OS X install CD and ran first aid which on verify showed me a couple of errors in the catalog B-tree, I press repair but despite telling me that the colume was repaired, the errors still show up on a further verify.
I booted from a Drive 10 CD and when prompted, told it to repair. It took about 12 hours and then told me that it could not repair the volume.
I did some reading here and then booted into the console and ran FSCk-Y and get this:
** Checking Catalog file
Missing thread record (id = 1034751)
Missing thread record (id = 78836)
keys out of order
(4,12556)
** Rebuilding Catalog B-tree
** The volume Geek could not be repaired.
I have run FSCK several times but just get the same answer.
I have a Norton SystemWorks 2 CD but that boots into OS 9 and I seem to recall reading somewhere that you should not use the Classic Norton to repair an OS X volume. Is this true?
As Penelope Pitstop might have said: "Hayulp!"
Anybody got any ideas?
Apologies if this has already been answered somewhere - I did look first though...
