hmmmm.
recloned. ran Verify on the internal before i booted from it.
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid sibling link
The volume Untitled needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
so, a fresh install of the OS is in order. is it okay to do an "Erase and Install" or should I erase first?
once the new OS is installed, do I have to be booted from it to do the requisite updates? btw, we're talking Tiger, here.
and once the new OS is on, what's the best way to move my stuff from the external? does migration assistant work in a case like this? notice i said 'best' not 'optimal.' i'm sure the optimal thing to do is reinstall all the apps but that really would be time consuming.
maybe i should just live on the external...
