Would say: Start as follows: Put in a known-good startup-CD. Start up and hold C till you see the smiling Mac. See if your Mac will start up. If no: Let us know, you'll get another recipe. If yes: See if your HD is mounted. Yes: Open it and see what's on it. Report what you see and you'll get answer. If you are not sure about, make (a) window-screenshot(s) (hold: Cmd+Shift+CapsLock+4 and click) and send this/these privatly to me (as you cannot attach to listmail). You'll get an answer. No, not mounted: 1) See what ASP says 2) "Report and wait for answer". Being curious. Jo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
