Performa 550 with stock 160MB SCSI drive, 7.6.1 installed. I ran Norton Disk Doctor 3.5 from a boot floppy to check, and repaired quite a few issues. Next tried to run Norton Speed Disk, but I get the error "B-Tree records out of order." nothing I do can get rid of the error. I attempted to run DiskWarrior BUT you can't run it from the boot volume PLUS you can't run it from a CD PLUS you can't run it from the volume it is installed on... and right now I only have 1 single 1.4MB floppy, so I can't boot from that AND run DiskWarrior... Any ideas on how I might proceed? |

I suppose the first question is can you boot from the hard drive. I gather the hard drive must at least show up since Norton is accessing it. Can you mount and read the contents of the hard drive. If you can I would suggest you backup any data you have on the hard drive. You might try running Disk FirstAid from a floppy to see what it uncovers. If Disk FirstAid uncovers trouble and can not repair the disk on the first try, it is often worthwhile to run Disk First Aid several times. The error you are receiving from Norton might be spurious. There are other hard drive tools from that era. MacTools comes to mind, they were purchased by Norton. There are old versions of TechTool as well. A google search might turn up more options. bill

Thanks for the tips, I'll look for those other tools. For the most part, the hard drive works fine... I was mainly hoping to squeeze any extra performance out of it I could with the various tools. It boots, runs, etc. Occasionally I get an odd error and lock-up, but I have no idea if this is drive related.
