I'm sorry you had such a bad experience. After all this, I'm still not clear on stuff that should have been in the original posting. I don't know the model, HD, RAM of Mac you were upgrading? I'm assuming this was a standard "upgrade" installation, but that's probably NOT the optimal way to upgrade your OS. A better way would be to clone a backup of your old OS to another HD, then wipe the original HD and do a clean installation of the new OS, and use the Migration Assistant to transfer your user accounts and data onto the clean installation from the cloned backup. > I did something wrong and lost some of the full ones <mailboxes> This seems so unlikely. Anything should have been moved into the trash first. Then you'd need to "Empty Trash" before it was deleted. Even if you did "Empty Trash", if you haven't used the OS very much you can probably salvage these files with Data Rescue II, I believe there's a demo mode to look and grab a small number of files for free? > I lost any recent messages in them <the lost mailboxes>. Shouldn't recent messages still be on your ISP's mail server? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
