The bit about the Apple Support suggestion to shut down the host  
computer as a method to eject the iBook in target disk mode makes one  
wonder what?if anything?was corrupted in the process. My experience  
is that on a personal computer you can spend more time, effort, and  
money troubleshooting maladies than just biting the bullet, backup,  
erase the HD, and reinstall the software. Aat least know what you  
have and whether the problem is software and not hardware related...jf
