Re: My PowerBook won't boot!
Yes, but I need something to boot off of first to re-bless the system folder. And the reason I use uninstallers is cause I'm so used to Windows (I've been using PCs for years, Macs for only about a year). I will stop now though. Can someone send me disk images uncompressed because I have no way to decompress them without my PowerBook (it's my only Mac).

Why does it find System Software at first and then it can't? Boot blocks are corrupted. Zap the PRAM. (hold down cmd-opt-P-R while booting). Then re-bless the System Folder. (open the folder by double-clicking on it whlie holding down the option key. then immediately close it). Then reselect the boot drive from the control panel. - Dan. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

My PowerBook won't boot!
My PowerBook has System 7.5.5 installed. Yesterday I used the 7.5.3 custom uninstall to remove Apple CD Audio Player. I've uninstalled individual components before with no trouble, but this time was different. I clicked quit to exit the installer when it was done, and it sat for a few minutes, and then I got a system error (type 25, whatever that is). I clicked restart, and then the computer restarted. Now whenever I start it up I get the happy Mac for less than a second, the screen blinks, and then I get the disk with an ? on it. Why does it find System Software at first and then it can't? If possible, can anyone send me images of the original system disks that came with it? And, is there anything I can do myself without downloading anything?
