I know, I know...they warned me.  Well, I have a hard drive which was
formatted and initialized using SF&I.  It's been working great, except that
it seemed to have a lot of fragmentation, especially in the desktop.  So,
I used DiskExpress to de-fragment and compact the desktop.  Well...it ran
for about 2 hours or so, and came back just fine, having moved a huge
number of block around for optimization (I also specified "Prioritize Files").

Well, I seem to have no problems accessing any files on the disk, but I can't
boot from it.  Upon booting, the Mac gives me the "?" disk icon, and tries
again and again.  It will boot from a floppy, and the hard drive is there and
all is well--just no boot.

I tried re-building the desktop using OPTION-COMMAND after booting from the
floppy, but that didn't fix the problem.

Any ideas, netters?  I know I can probably do a backup, re-init, and restore,
but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Thanks in advance,
Marc
