The file directory (the list of pointers to the start location of each file in the data partition of the drive) may be heavily fragmented, or worse, corrupt. DiskWarrior, which is on CD anyway, may not be able to deal with System 7.0.1. Your need now is for NUM (Norton Utilities for Mac), preferably in a 68K-only version such as 3.2 or earlier. With Disk Doctor you should be able to reconstruct the file directory, and, for good measure, use Speed Disk to defragment the files themselves. Then you may be nearly at the end of the yellow brick road.
