I am suspicious that booting my mac after a crash (reseting and then having it spit out the data disk that was in it before the crash causes irreversible damage to the disk. Is this so? I think I may have destroyed several disks this way and only with this last one am I now thinking that this resetting may be the common event. I also seem to remember vaguely reading somewhere about bad things if mac expects to find a system but doesn't? my disk is unreadable, should I try to reformat it or is there a way to get back the ino? any info or help would be appreciated! thanks! please send mail to: kmills@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu
