BIG Pickle---i have a B-TREE error and need B-HELP !!!!

Question

I speciffically bought this G4 cuz it was suppose be a bit different......called a 'custom built' dual 1.2.5 G4 mmd. i got it right when the G5 was introduced and yes this time i new about the new 32 bit arch. and all the new goos stuff....BUT.......i needed to run my OS9 apps.......would have cost me thouse and to upgrade everything.
my point is......was that true......i was told that a G5 could not run OS9 either could many of the new G4s.......so whats all this about 'partitioning'.......why couldn't i have partisitned a new G5 to run 'classic' or OS9.2.2 ?
I say all this cuz even though i have adabted slowly to OSX, i still need my OS9 for many things........BUT IT DOESN'T WORK !!!......i startup in ( and get a BOMB error-2 what turns out to be a [B-Tree -keys out of order] but can't be fixed by first aid.......CAN'T.
So what was so 'custom' about this G4 ?
-1 what app-fix-utility will fix this B-Tree ?
(must be something other then clean-install)
-2 can anyone tell me what made this G4 cost 2400 at the same time a new G5 cost the same ?
(was that a scam to sell out their stock OR like in may cases as techknowledgy moves on sometimes there are certain things that have unique properties that you won't see again)
The b tree issue only happenes apon trying to open OS9, even in seperate HDs. i emailed 'disk warrior' and they can't say for sure......so im hoping a real MAC addact can help me.
thanks.

Answer 1

Sorry for the delay.....i do appreciat the detailed help.
Ok Carl.......I have what is called a 'dual-boot' G4, w/ dual 1.2.5. I bought it the same month the G5 came out and you bet i wanted that 32-bit arch i had been reading about....BUT more then one sales person told me that to 'their knowledge' the new G5 and even the recent G4s weren't designed to run OS9..........and remember, before {X] was [9]....and that was the big deal, well like many of us all my apps were OS9 and after hearing that i felt i would need to upgrade litterly EVERYTHING which would cost even more then the fancy G5, so to play it safe i blew 2400 on this dual-boot which Apple was advetising as the G5 came out so i never got a definitive answer if i made the right choice........i explain all this cuz i assumed this B-tree error would have been one of the issues the dual-boot would have been designed to deal with.
All that being said, im still not a 'pro'.....serious amature so i don't have the funds to continully keep up-grading this 'tool' that i use to edit basic video-music projects on. I get it to work just how i like it and am comfortable with, and viola'.......i need not one or two apps but several to do what i did PERFECTLY yesterday, i can't even go to the new sleek apple site and view the new FCP cuz i don't have the latest QT cuz i don't have the latest OS.........to me that is absurd .
Ok sorry about the rant but it does pertain to this. There are some cool FX i simply can't do in OSX cuz i don't have all the same plugins i did in 9......follow........so i open OS9 from startup disc and get this ERROR 2.......i did try to fix from outside reapair app and got the same mess. saying it can't be fixed with that.
funny thing is i was forced to do a clean install last year on my main HD, moved all apps and files to HDD2.......so not sure how this happened, i allso have issues w/ TRASH while im in OSX from this main HD, they 'dissapear' but don't delete space........"where do they go?????" i also have these phantom zero k files that can't be trashed, they all have this weird 'nunununununu' after the ext. I click on it and BOOM it vanishes, then reapears. i think they are linked to PC files that got in here.
any idea what that is ?
so im hoping that all this is related to this B-tree deal.........so if it simply a matter of DISK WARRIOR....what version do i try, remember im still using [OS 10.2.8]
so any ideas you have i will certainly appreciate.......G4-G5 G whizz......im happy w/ this box for the most part, but these anomolies make it sound like a PC.
