but it won't fix non-system volumes
Authored by: Anonymous on Jun 26, '02 01:08:05PM

The accompanying file says "The utility only repairs Apple-installed software that is located on a Mac OS X startup volume. " and indeed the non-MacOS X volumes can't be processed.

On the other hand, the release notes say that it will fix problems specific to Classic startup errors.

Like many others, I have my MacOS X system on a different volume from my MacOS 9.2.2 Classic folder and therefore my Classic volume cannot be checked/processed by this utility. I don't think I have permissions problems on the Classic volume now but couldn't prove it/fix it with this utility.

Classic permission problems are on the OS X disk, with the Classic environment files, not on your Classic disk. Indeed your Classic disk may have no concept of privileges at all (since you can happily 'Ignore privileges' on a Classic volume). So the utility should work fine for those.

...not that I've launched Classic in months, of course.
