Nah, we are not Masochists.  We are instead tinkers.  It is not painful to use our PPC Macs, it is instead a joy.

Yee-ikes!

Maybe run Apple Hardware Test… if available for whatever machine you’re working with.

no, the mac didn't crash, norton did

Okay, for me I have this to say:

I am not on the web all that much anymore, or on any of my comptuers but once in a week or so. I have found myself spending way too much time on the web and not doing things like the housework, reading, walking the dog, or any of the other things in life.

So that is why you also do not see me commenting or reading things here. It is not from a lack of interest, it is from the "I need a life other than the Internet."

Usually, I could always get Disk Doctor to repair and report a-OK, but then eventually back to same errors.
Often ended up just reformatting with Drive Setup 2.1 and then clean installing OS 9.2.2.

But running AHT (if possible) can help identify other possible problems. Best of luck.

after norton found the error, it crashed. twice...

i said "eff it" and am converting everything over to a single ssd. take the 3 heat generating drives out and leave the single ssd in.
should be faster and hopefully kill my boot time in half. before with the hdd it would take about 2 min to boot into os 9. been like that since i installed the drives. so maybe this will fix it all    *fingers crossed*

@vaccinemedia I was re-reading your update posts and wondered about the .hqx method you abandoned. Were you at one point getting an output patched ROM file with a .hqx extension?? And if so, what about then converting it to Mac binary format again (un-binhex the file). Shouldn't that result in a single, properly written ROM file?

@reddrag0n

After you have “repaired” the Invalid Btree Header error with Disk Warrior (with and or in conjunction with Norton Disk Doctor) would you kindly check, test and monitor the drive over the next couple of weeks and report if it in fact remains “repaired”?

And also… if you eventually convert to an SSD too?

There are many reported instances in the past where these errors have supposedly been repaired - only to find that soon thereafter, the errors again reappear.

Thanks.

You should have used Disk Warrior first, as I wrote. Norton has a tendency to screw up things sometimes.
If Norton is slow, turn off 'checking for bad blocks' or 'media scan' in preferences.

downloaded and burned norton 6 (from mac garden) on the mdd, but when i tried to boot it, it didn't want to boot. so currently i'm booted into 9 and norton is doing a slow check on the drive now.

as of writing this, norton found the error, and it's asking to fix it but i'm still booted into os 9. if all else fails, i will strip out the old drives and throw in an ssd partitioned to 2 drives and just redo what i have

Disk Warrior or Norton. In that order. Booted from another drive.
