There was a message on INFO-MAC Digest 29 Apr 1987 Volume 5 : Issue 83
about recovering crashed disks which said:
>people report that when they try to recover from a crash,
>they get a message:

Can someone explain the correct procedure to use?
I've tried to recover an HFS disk with MacTools 6.3 several times without
success. It seems to me that there are not many options, aside from "mounting"
the disk...

Which is the best program to use to recover HFS disks? I'm pretty upset with
the quality of MacTools. It seems to crash often and fail most of the time.

Any Thoughts?
