Sorry about the cross-posting, but I want to reach as many "knowledgeable" people in the shortest time. I have a disk partitioned with silverlining from LaCie and one of my 40Meg partitions was damaged. Silverlining told me that continuing might make it worse, and I didn't listen. It's worse. When I go into silverlining to mount the partition, it says it is OK. BUT, when I exit to finder (running without multi-finder) I get the message: Not enough finder memory to handle disk "grumpy" This is not the "Out of Finder Memory" message I posted about earlier this week. I've tried using multi-finder and increasing the finder memory in the about box, from 320 (160 won't handle multiple partitions) to 512, 1024 or even as high as 4096. I need a tool that will check the partition or repair a damaged disk structure on a partition without mounting it for the finder. There appear to be a few repair programs available that will work on a damaged floppy, but nothing that I've been able to locate that will repair a SCSI disk partition. As a last resort, I am prepared to simply backup the rest of the partitions and reformat and rebuild the system... but that takes 6 hours of inserting 1.44M floppies to backup and restore the system, not counting reloading/re-installing system software and formatting the disk. ANYONE WITH HELPFUL INFO, PLEASE EMAIL to carl@tardis.tymnet.com as soon as possible. I can download any PD tools you can name from Sumex or other any otehr FTP site, or you can mail me a binhex'ed (and stuffit/compactor) file and I can install it and try it out.
