[QUOTE="Badger, post: 24442"] 1 and 2 are serious errors. The only utility that can deal with them reliably will be DiskWarrior. I use all of the "big three" utilities - Norton's, TechTool and DiskWarrior - and in my experience DW is the only one that can handle those errors. Once the directories and catalogs are rebuilt try Norton DD again for the cross-linked files. If NDD still cannot fix the cross-linked files then you can try Norton's File Editor+ that is only on the Norton CD. However, File Editor+ is a heavy-duty programming tool. Be careful! You can do serious damage with it, that's why it is not installed when you install NUM on the hard disk. With FE+ you will have to go through your hard disk and rejoin the cross-linked segments into files. As a warning I would say don't use File Editor+ unless you are willing to lose all you data and have to reformat. File Editor+ should be used only as the last resort. Good Luck. Badger [/QUOTE]
