Here we go again. My G3 MT 300/768 running OSX 10.2.8. was running slow
so I decided to run DiskWarrior and try and speed things up. Tried to
restart and came up with the Open FirmWare 2.4 screen. Could not boot
into my primary partition. I have a 80 Gig hard drive with OSX on the
first partition and OS9 on the second. I installed a 6 gig hard drive
with OSX 10.2..8 and some repair utilities. That is what I used to
rebuild my primary hard drive. Everything else works but the OSX
partition. Is there a something I can type into the Open Firemare screen
to get it to boot into OSX? What I have done the last two times is do a
clean install of OSX and bring as many of the things I could think of
back into the new OSX. Still I lost a bunch of things like seriel
numbers, and such. There must be an easier way to get back into my
primary disk. I used version 3 of Diskwarrior but the problem started
with TechTool 4. Previous to all this, my computer shut down with a
screen that was filled with lines like bar codes and the colour changing
in the background. This happened twice. Gateway is starting to look
good. I am not a new user, started using a Mac in 1985 and worked my way
up to the G3 I am using now. This is the most problems I have ever had.
I bought this G3 used and I think I know now why it was available.
Please help somehow so I can get a stable computer that runs faster than
my 603e and allows me to get back to work.
Thanks
