any idea about how to recover without having to re-install? Since I have access to the partition via the shell when trying to boot on it, there's perhaps a simple way?
Two more things: Files on /private/etc/ (such as the affected master.passwd) are hidden files and I can't access them booting from another partiton. In another machine (running Jaguar) I can Change Dir to /private/etc/ and access the files from Terminal, but in this case I can't CD or list them, as I get the mentioned error I'm not even sure if install & archive would cure this? thanks for anay help, gianfranco > It looks like Norton did screw up your OS X partition... > > -Laurent. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
