Locked boot drive in a 520c

2005-06-14 Thread willi
Hi, y'all!

After unpacking a '.hqx' file into a new folder on the boot drive of a 520c,
the system locked up.  Now, when I boot the 520c, no sign of the new folder and
the boot drive shows as being locked.  How do I unlock it?

.

Not sure if this is the right approach but starting from the basics;

•  Hold the shift key down on bootup. Starting with extensions off.

or;

• Boot from an install disk.

Any change?

Can you now do a search for the offending folder?
Did it accidently slip into another folder?
Did anything get put into a startup folder?
Are there any new extensions in that folder?
