yesterday i had to rush to shut it off as we had storm here and i didnt have it on surge protector, i had to flat out pull the cable (a few moments later luckily i did as power went out and the Breaker tripped in teh main room) i turned it on today as i was using primarly my old iMac G3 (Snow White 600mhz) to act as a Dialup Gateway for taking my dreamcast online. (i dont have home phone services) to get online in Phantasy Star online to notice it was taking Longer to boot. and Programs would Bounce but not open. i thoght "I corrupted something with that sudden power off." so i Plop in my CD1 of the 4disc OSX Set let installer window come up but open Utilites -> Disk Utility to verify the Drive now thsi part's strange! Verifying's fine. but when i run Repair instead of Verify it hangs then powers down the HDD on the "Checking catalog File" booting from its small 4GB OS9 Partition its just fine and dandy. but OSX seems Hosed. did the drive die? (No clicking) or do i Just need to redo the OSX Installation? -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.

I would think that if the drive was completely dead, then it wouldn’t boot at all, from any partition. I would try to redo the OSX installation. --ryan Sent from my Apple Mac mini via Airmail 2 -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
