hard disk problem - help! "B Tree keys out of order"
 

I got a weird error on my main hard disk

"Catalogue B Tree
Keys out of order, 4,9367"

I tried disk first aid but it can't repair it. Has anyone had this? Is it bad? What did you do to fix it?

Thanks!

B tree has to do with the dir of the disk's contents. Your HD is in dire need of maintenance (or more drastically, complete reformatting!). Buy a copy of the latest Norton System Works (best money you ever spent - & yes there are alternatives like Disk Warrior, Tech Tool, etc.), boot from its CD & run Disk Doctor. Do it now, or risk losing everything. Disk First Aid is virtually useless.

i've had/have this problem. Norton finds the problem but can't repair it. I've reformatted,zeroed out the data, and still weeks/months later I have the same problem. I've only had the computer 7 or 8 months. I finally ran Anivirus and found a virus on my computer that is probably the cause of all my pain. I would suggest at least running a virus untility and see if that may be a problem. Other than that all Apple has been able to tell me is to reformat and zero out the data.

Anyways I hope that there is something of value in all of this chatter [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
