Invalid Sibling Link?
Spec's: G4 Sawtooth upgraded with a dual 1.25 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM, 2-100 GB HDD's, OS 10.4.11. This G4 has been rock solid for a number of years following all upgrades. Today I found a frozen screen saver and no response to keyboard and mouse commands. No hardware or software changes have been made for weeks or months. Restarted to the usual grey Apple startup screen with the rolling spoke/grear wheel and after two minutes the computer turned itself off. Thinking a hard drive failure I rebooted to a back-up eternal drive with success. The normal boot drive was not mounted and would not mount with Disk Utility. I ran Disk First Aid on the damaged volume and received the message: Invalid Sibling Link Volume Check Failed What does that mean? Is there any way to repair this? I do have have recent backup so I could erase the wayward volume and restore the data. Any ideas to get this guy up and running?

The normal boot drive was not mounted and would not mount with Disk Utility. I ran Disk First Aid on the damaged volume and received the message: Invalid Sibling Link Volume Check Failed My HFS-fu is not as strong as it used to be, but this is (I believe) a problem with the B-tree. This is a job for DiskWarrior; Disk First Aid won't fix this. I do have have recent backup so I could erase the wayward volume and restore the data. Any ideas to get this guy up and running? Thanks --glen If you need to get up and running right away, then I'd do that.

From: Cameron Kaiser spec...@floodgap.com If you need to get up and running right away, then I'd do that. Otherwise, pick up a copy of DiskWarrior; Alsoft still sells PowerPC compatible versions all the way back to OS 9. Thanks for the quick response. I was thinking of DiskWarrior. Since I still have a number of PowerPC's it may be a good investment. --glen -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: G4 iMac display swap?

I'd be really careful about that. I'm not sure if the base is weighted enough for a 17 (I *know* it isn't for a 20). I still use a 15 because the 17 and 20 seem to be too much for the arm and the strings stretch over time. I see far more sagging displays on the bigger ones than on the 15. I don't think the weight with a 17 would be an issue, but what about connectivity? Is the hardware the same at the goose neck? Would the MOBO be the same?

I don't know about the motherboard, but Apple used at least two different kinds of displays, even within the same specific model. The necks also differ somewhat, but I don't know to what degree and I've never done this sort of surgery myself. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- TODAY'S DUMB TRUE HEADLINE: Enfield Couple Slain; Police Suspect Homicide -- -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
