Hey Guys,
I have a 60GB Laptop IDE HDD which is formatted as Mac OS Journaled.
Something has caused the OS (OSX 10.4.6) to have some kind of problem.
I'm unsure whether the boot sector is buggered or the os is the only
problem. I need to get some data off of it if I can.
I've tried repairing permissions, putting it in an external case and
having the first aid prog on the OSX install disc run over it. Any
other ideas how I can get the data back?
Does the computer start in Single User mode? (Hold down Command-S
until you see the screen turn black and begin to generate UNIX text).
If so, you may be able to restore the disk by typing
fsck -fy
at the prompt. Wait until the message "THE DISK HAS BEEN RESTORED
SUCCESSFULLY" (or words to that effect) appear, then reboot .
