Re: ah, hard drive troubles. SO much fun.

be patient with archiver.  it usually can recover most of your stuff, you
just have to restore in pieces.  be prepared to experience a few crashes. 
then when you finish, go get something else.  oh yeah, run with extensions
off.  (hold down shift at startup)

HFS _does_ work.  i've had an HFS partition since system 6 came out, and
i've had about the same number of massive problems that i've had with
prodos partitions.  of course, i tend to not take data loss too seriously
anyway (if i actually care about it, i back it up.)  and i still use
archiver.  the free part really appeals to me, more than the hassle takes
away.  HFS makes me happier with my HD, and if i had a larger one, (>my 85
meg drive) it would keep me from going completely insane.  as it is, i
hate having 3 partitions.  (boot, prodos stuff, HFS)
