Jerry, sounds like there may have been a "which disk are you
running" problem for a longer time.  Before big reinstall efforts
I'd spend a little time trying to figure out what systems are
where and which ones boot.  One thing to know is that 9.2.2
is just a minor update from 9.2.1, so in a 9.2.2 system some
files are labeled 9.2.2 but many are still from 9.2.1.  

Look in the System Folder for each disk, there's a file "System"
select it and "Get Info".  That should tell you what system is really
on that disk.  If you try to boot from a disk (via Startup Disk)
that should end up the top disk on the right side of the desktop.
If not then the boot software couldn't boot from that disk and
tried another.

There are many of the same issues if you have multiple
Photoshops on your system -- i.e. which one are you running
when you double-click on a ps file?   A running application
will be 'selected' if you look at the folder containing it.

Good luck and feel free to email me if you like.
