About a month ago, when I tried to empty my trash on my laptop computer (a lime Mac iBook), I got a -127 error message. The trash showed a jpeg file that was more than 130 GB -- impossible on my little lime iBook with just over 9 GB of disk space. Zapping the pram or rebuilding the desktop with TechTool did nothing, nor did using Disk FirstAid. Someone on the Open University Mac Users Forum recommended DiskWarrior, and since nothing else would work and I couldn't find any other advice for this problem, I ordered it. The CD arrived yesterday and, now, the -127 error is gone and my computer trash is empty! I'm not the brightest bulb in the box when it comes to technology tools (and cannot understand why anyone would ever confuse me for a techie), but had no problems using DiskWarrior at all, straight out of the box. And it was awesome to find a product that works with OS 9x -- not all of us have the funds to upgrade our systems to OSX and all of our software to work with such. DiskWarrior not only fixed my problem, it also cleaned up my iBook's "directory structure," (which it turns out it very much needed). An added bonus: DiskWarrior has an internal diagnostic that can let you know if a drive is in danger of physical malfunction, so you can back up your data before the drive fails (something I'm always afraid of). If you have a Macintosh computer, you gotta get this product!
