System 7: Corrupted Suitcase and/or System File

I have a corrupted suitcase and/or System file. How can I retrieve my fonts or sounds?
Unfortunately, we have no recommended fix. While we don't recommend it, as a last resort you may want to take the following steps:

  1. Start from the Disk Tools disk.
  2. Open the System Folder on your hard disk.
  3. Rename your System file.
  4. Throw the Finder in the Trash.
  5. Empty the Trash.
  6. Reinstall system software 7.0.
  7. Restart from the hard disk.
  8. Open the renamed System file with Font/DA mover 4.1, holding down the Option key.
  9. Resave the fonts and sounds into new suitcases.
  10. One by one, open up the fonts in System 7 by double-clicking on the suitcase, and then open the document inside that suitcase. Do not use Font/DA mover 4.1 to do this. A bad font or sound will either cause a system crash or it won't open. Do not reinstall the corrupted font or sound in the System Folder. Use the original provided by the vendor.
