restart holding shift down for single user mode. preferably run Diskwarrior on it if you have it. If you don't just bite the bullet and get it! download the combo OS installer that matches the OS on the machine and use that to reinstall the OS. create a new user (if you can do that in single-user mode, can't remember) and see if he can start from there. Don't forget to turn off auto log-in AFTER being absolutely sure he can remember his password. OR revert to the daily clone back-up he keeps. what's that you say -- he doesn't keep a frequent back-up? March him to the nearest place you can buy a FW disk. seriously! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
