Thanks for the hits, I had tried searching for that, but only in newsgroups.

I don't have OS9 on the machine - it only comes with OS X, so I can't boot into that to run anything, unfortunately...

I will certainly go and try disk warrior, I've seen it mentioned several times. Can I run this on OS X? I read somewhere that it's ok to work on OS X partitions but needs to run in OS 9.

I'm trying the find command to see what that comes up with.

I will call apple support tomorrow, but I was just wondering if people had a few ideas first.

Paul.
