Hello All, I was working on a machine with OS X, Jaguar, and the power
failed. Yes, I know about UPSs......anyhow now when I boot the machine
I am presented with the dreaded flashing Mac Icon and the Question Mark
of Death.......no system files on the HD. I have booted from the OS X
disk and used Disk Utility to Repair the disk/volume....but no
go!....the hard drive remains "grayed out". I was able to boot to the
UNIX system prompt and run the disk repair utility there, but I suspect
I was looking at the boot CD not the hard drive. In the DOS world of
the past one could transfer the system files to a HD without formatting
it, is there something like that for the Mac? Any help and/or insight
anyone can offer is appreciated, or is it time to partition the drive
and reinstall everything.....and I have committed the mortal sin of NOT
having any backups....mia culpa. Thanks to all, Jim.
