Thanks Tom and Eric. I transferred the files via Ethernet/ AppleTalk from an iBook [that has to be sent into Apple Repair] to the PB2400 with a 6GB drive.
I still have the startup problem doing a rebuild with TechTool. I guess I'll try DiskWarrior next. For future reference, what is the largest size of files that I can transfer (either via Ethernet/AppleTalk or via an external hard drive/CD) to the PB2400 without running into this problem? In my original transfer, I did copy over some 2.5GB of the 2.8GB in one fell swoop. >> From: Glenn R.
