Sigh. I did something foolish.

I have something wrong with my main system folder; all it does is stop
Norton Disk Doctor working when booting from the HD, no other hassles.

I have a backed up system on a Zip drive; I can boot from that, no problem.
However, I tried to substitute the backed up system folder for the old
system folder by booting from the Zip, copying the system across, renaming
the old system to "Old system" and booting; it still used "Old system". So
I put it in the trash (didn't delete it) and tried again. It then wanted me
to use the Zip copy *on the Zip* and when I took the old system back out of
the trash it had lost its "blessed" icon (only has a plain folder icon) and
won't boot from it- I still have to use the Zip.

How do I restore the "blessed" status of the old system folder (now again
called "system folder")?
