Well, it finally happened.  My Mac II internal hard disk has a directory
structure error.  It is a PCPC IHD144 meg disk that had 13meg free on it, so it
is pretty full.
 
I was unpacking files downloaded to a folder.  Then in the Finder I tried to
open the folder and the Macsbug screen came up with a '1111 error' and nothing
else, Macsbug crashed too.  So I rebooted and tried to open the folder again
and blam, same thing.  I rebooted and told it to rebuild the desktop and after
2-3 minutes, blam same thing.  I booted a floppy and ran Dsik First Aid on the
disk and it found no errors, so I exited to Finder and it said the disk needed
minor repairs, I said proceed,  2-3 minutes in Blam, '1111 error'.
 
During all this time, the hard disk would boot, but say it needed repairs, so
I couldn't run with it.  Now, it won't boot.  The access light comes on at
the same increment as the flashing question mark icon, so it is trying.  If
I boot a floppy and run the PCPC SCSI tools program, it can read the disk. I
even installed a new driver on the disk, no boot.  Also, now Disk First Aid
and Finder dont even try to mount the disk, no "Disk need minor repairs" error.
 
What can I try now???
