[QUOTE="Kevriano, post: 850195, member: 18605"] Sadly it will be difficult, especially if it's something specific. Now, with my friends iMac (which I fixed btw) I ran Norton Disc Doctor after I had made the clean install, and retrieved all sorts of stuff, but not the things he wanted in particular. It really depends. What version OS are you running. Laytonx: Same question what OS version? Did you run disc utility from the install disc? If not, you should, because generally it will fix node errors. If you can't because you don't have discs, you could run fsck in single user mode. If that fails Norton/Diskwarrior will probably fix it, because that's a directory fault. That said, a clean install is the best way to solve this ultimately. [/QUOTE]
