What do do when disk utilities fail?
Hi. I have an iBook that has been switching back and forth between OS X 10.3.5 and OS 9.2.2 pretty smoothly (recently replaced the DC-in board).
One of the OS 9 programs (Pro Tools) is crashing and giving me an error message saying I need to defragment. Running Norton Speed Disk optimizer in OS 9 normally takes care of this problem. But now, at around the 3/4 complete mark, I get an error message saying the disk is damaged and needs repair. When I run Norton Disk Doctor, it eventually returns an error message saying it can't repair the disk -- too bad.
I have already run the OS 9 Apple Disk Utility and, on the OS X side, repaired the disk permissions. What now?
