I think something's seriously wrong with your file system, and backing up your user data (alas, it means abandoning the stuff in that 'lost' directory, but I'm not sure you can actually get to it.) would be the way to go. If you have (or have access to) the utility Disk Warrior, I'd give it a shot, but your system is NOT supposed to look like that. Back up your stuff, pull out the 10.3 disk and boot from it, reformatting the drive (the last option in the options after you choose the install disk,they call it 'Erase and install') as you go. If you use OS 9, don't forget to check the 'Include OS 9 drivers' when you reformat. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
