It actually took awhile to reboot it, as my Panther drive fell off the machine too. I had to run out and buy a mouse to make things easier to work with.
I had forgotten that in 2013 I added an SATA card to the machine along with 2 new drives. I unplugged and reseated everything this morning. I have it running ow off the original 120gb drive running 10.4.11 I can see both 500gb drives in there. I cannot open the Documents folder on the main drive. :( And I think the Desktop folder does the same, though there are others I can open and work with. I tried to Verify it using Disk Utility and it failed saying "The underlying task reported failure on exit". The backup drive passed. So it does sound like a hard drive issue though I had no warning. I'm going to try the repair and see what happens. I think I have Disk Warrior or Data Rescue and I'll have to see if I can get it on that machine somehow. Are there good external caddies I can use to plug these drives in if the machine itself ever dies? Thanks!
