Brian,
If you can get a bootable CD to start up the computer, you can go
into the system & extensions folder (remember OS 9? or it could be 8)
and start trashing foolproof pgm, extns and prefs. IIRC you were
saying the CD didn't seem to be working so taking the HD out, putting
it into another computer as a slave, then doing the above surgery
would work.
You could also install the HD into an older Mac with floppy and IDE
connector, and boot from the floppy in that machine to do the operation.
If I can be of further help, contact me off list.

up with a solution, and I'll look him up.

there a way to just use the computer if I get the right keystrokes? I
know there is a password but I'm wondering if there is a keystroke

choices. Right now I can't delete anything, or move anything for that
matter. Hope this isn't too far offtopic or something like that.
Email
me off-list if you want. Thanks!
