When bad things happen to good Mac's [OT]

[Daniel Gimpelevich]

I tried Drive Genius's partition resizing function in conjunction with its
partition map reset function. As a side effect, it wiped out the OS9
driver partitions, and even though I managed to restore them (with pdisk)
to a state where OS9 can see the disk again, I still have not been able to
boot that machine into OS9 since then. To top things off, the resizing of
the partition left the filesystem in exactly the predicament Dr. Sacco
described. Both fsck and Drive Genius would say that repair is needed, and
then refuse to do it. My next stop was DiskWarrior, which took care of
that problem. I still had TechTool Pro ready as a last resort.
