I had a serious, "Oh [EMAIL PROTECTED]" I'm sure you'll get a good snicker out of it. I'm drifting cautiously toward OS X Or so I thought. I've made an arrangement with a person from the LEM swap list to buy 10.2. (If your out there please contact me.) In my collection of Mac stuff I fix and give away there was a set of iMac restore discs with OS 10.1 which I thought I would look at tp see what was on them. Wth previous OSs one could look at the contents by going to "custom install," so I thought I would try that. Well, it did not work the way I expected it to. I never tried to install the OS but I had to reboot to extract myself from the discs. Instead of my usual happy Mac in OS 9.2.2 I got a flashing folder with a question mark, indicating it could not find the OS. So I has to reinstall OS 9.2.2 loosing access to the hard drive contents. Somewhere I have a techtool pro 3 disk. I think one of its functions is finding lost info like this but I've never tried it for this kind of thing. Any suggestions of things to try to get any of my data back?
Related to this, I lost my email contact with the person selling the OS 10.2. So if you read this please contact me.
Thanks all,
Anand
