[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1020606, member: 24098"] Unfortunately, I think you're SOL on this one. Rosetta is PPC emulation for programs that were designed to work on older PPC Macs. When Apple introduced 10.6 (Snow Leopard), they dropped support for PPC. Although you can install Rosetta on a full-scale, running version of OS X to try to run some of that old software, since your machine is booted from your 10.6 disc, it's in a static environment (i.e. you can't install anything). My recommendation would be to either pick up something like Disk Warrior or TechTool Pro. I'm not familiar with TESTDISK, but it sounds like it's old and probably isn't designed to work with 10.6 anyway. [/QUOTE]
