...It just says File Sharing starting up and will stay like that
until the battery dies an hour and a half later, if I let it go that
long...
The usual cause of this is a corrupt AppleShare PDS file on the
harddisk. This is an invisible file at the root level of any shared
harddisk
an invisible. Remind me tomorrow
to try and save a SimpleText document at the root level on my bosses
Mac at work and name it Desktop DB.
Odds are it won't let you as the Desktop DB files are always open IIRC.
But what if say, you were using OS 9, launched Sherlock and told it
look for AppleShare PDS
