I have a pb3400c, 240mhz, 80m ram, 6 partitions on a 12g HD with OS9.1. Was running fine until the last time I shut it down, I got a message that my start up disk did not have a system folder and if I continued the shut down I might not be able to restart. I tried to open some appls but they would not open because they couldn't find the extensions and the System folder was not on the disk.
I figured the directory got messed up and I would be able to boot from a CD and fix the disk or reload the system. WRONG. Have tried numerous CDs. They load the extensions, get a desktop with only the CD icon in top RH corner, then the system freezes with the pointer changing into a clock. The TechTool 3 Pro loads with the TT icon in top RH corner and the Apple, File, Edit, View, Special, & Help across the top. then it freeze like the other CDs. The disks do not show up on the desktop. Tried zapping the P-Ram, loading with extensions off and it made no difference. Anyone have any idea what happened and how to fix it?
