As if I don't have ENOUGH trouble with my own system, I
went and crashed a friend's HD...  This was a monumental
crash, too -- blood and gristle all over the place!  But
with the trusty Norton Disk Doctor, I managed to get the
machine to even recognize the HD.

However, Norton "fixed" the System Folder by deleting the
system file, plus a few others.  When I tried to reinstall
System 6.0.5, I get an error halfway through (ID #127) tel-
ling me that "This Disk can't be used as a Startup.  Sorry."

Referring to my trusty SysErr DA, I see that Error -127 is
either an HFS error (fsDSIntErr: Internal File System Error)
or a Menu Manager Error (dsHMenuFindErr: Could not find
HMenu's parent in MenuKey).

So what can I do to salvage the HD -- other than back up the
entire volume (it's a Rodine 210MB internal)?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
