[QUOTE="TRI, post: 1642000, member: 299820"] Thanks everybody for your responses. Yes pm-r, it does sound like the sad Lucky the Dog Story :[ It's good to know that I don't need to worry about permissions not being 100% repairable. I'm doing a Photoshop project that has been going on for several months. I save my work, .psd files, every 15 minutes or so. Every few hours I'll copy the last few .psd files to a flash drive also to a second hard drive. Every few weeks I burn CD's of my progress and put them in a fire safe. I'm trying to cover my ***! About every 7 - 10 days, I'd boot from the Apple install disk, and run Disk Utility's repair permissions and repair disk. I now realize that repair permissions is better done from the computer's main hard drive. Do I need to run Disk Utility as a preventive measure or is it just paranoid thinking based on nothing?
