Hi Jerry, Your instructions worked like a charm!!!!! I was able to access the hard drive and extract what I needed off of it. Normally I back it up frequently, however my last back-up was last weekend. My problem was that I am editing and revising a published book for a friend for his next edition to publish. I had worked very hard on the revision these past three days doing many pages of work. I was desperate not to lose all of my creative work. So again thank you for your help!!!!
I plan to buy a new laptop. How reliable are the new ones? I have had a lot of problems with that G3. Even my timing was lousy cause when I bought it, the G4 laptops came out about 6 weeks later.
