Problem: One of 3 partitions on my HD can't be mounted:
Symptoms: I was working on THINK C debugger. It bombed--it
didn't go into macsbug but the debugger source window said so:
it refused programmer's key interrupt so I rebooted. Kaboon!
one of my partition, which Think C folder resided is gone.
Setups: Jasmine 140, partitioned by bundled application
DriveWare to 80Meg, 40Meg, and 20Meg. Of which
40Meg partition became unmountable.
Diagnosis: Jasmine DriveWare found one new bad sector. SUM II Quickfix
found corrupted directory info. Boot block and other
attributes are normal.
Tried Solution: First I tried manually mounting it via Jasmine CDEV and
DriveWare. Both failed but neither crashed. It silently
tried and silently failed. Then I tried Apple's Disk First
Aid and faild with the message "unable to verify the status".
Lastly I tried SUM II Quickfix and failed--I didn't install
Shiled INIT due to speed and disk space and it couldn't
recover directory info without it. Then I tried Recovery
and it found all files and directory except Desktop as
long as I can recall.
Okay, Now here's my questions: I can recover all files via SUM II
but I don't want to do so if there's a way to fix it: All files remained
intact except the partition became unable to be mounted. It takes too much
time to retrieve all 40 Megs of files (it was only 5% free), reinitialize
the partition and reinstall files (Besides I don't have enough floppies
to buffer and all other partitions are full). Is there any possible solutions
you respected netters know? I need you help, and of course, I need my
partition back!
One of my question WAS that if Norton Utilities had capability of
fixing my problem--one of my friends has a beta version. But that solution
seems to have been dead according to the following article:

Any solutions? HELP! Post here or mail me to the following address.
Thank you in advance.
