There are some problems with the hard disk, methinks. If you have the OS X installation CD, try to boot from that CD. When you're in the installer, there should be an option in the Apple or File menu to launch Disk Utility. Try to repair the disk. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] coaster n.: 1.
