Next message: Bruce Johnson: "Re: [WinMac] imac woes"
I have a 333 slot loader iMac that won't start up. It can't see the
disk, I either get the floppy with an X icon or the floopy with an ? icon.
I actually got it to boot once with disk warrior and rebuilt the directory.
All errors were reported repaired but when I rebooted the hard drive wasn't
there. If I try to boot off the iMac software install disk it freezes right
after the first extension icon (the apple Help icon) appears on the screen.
Same thing for trying to boot off the Disk warrior ver 2.0 disk as well
now. I searched mac fix it archives and tried rebooting after removing the
VST USB floppy drive also but no luck. It just continues to freeze while
booting up. The unit is just over one year old and doesn't get the kind of
heavy use that might cause a drive to fail prematurely. If there is such a
thing as a premature drive failure. ;-) Can anyone point me to additional
resources for imac woes or does anyone have any experience with this type
of problem. Thanks. MVK
