I will do so. I checked my partitions on my external drive and have
decided to get a new one to do a back up as none of the partitions
have enough space.
Makes you realise the importance of it.
Everything seems to have returned to normal.

Thanks, Nicholas
That was very scary. I found this

and followed the instructions. All is fine now, thank goodness.
Great to hear you fixed it
I thought I had lost about 4 years worth of photos and all my
music, emails etc.
NOW!!! this very second, not tomorrow!!!! is the time to look at,
and implement, a backup strategy for your 10.4.11 system.
As you say Time Machine isn't present, but there are plenty of third
party solutions... like SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner.
They aren't as automated as Time Machine, but something is better
than nothing... and I speak from experience... I have a huge five
year gap in a lot of my data... a friend blew up one of my hard
drives by accidentally plugging the wrong wallwart into it... now
fortunately I backed up the data to a DVD a few years before when
migrating drives... but no consistent backup had been done in between.
Now ALL my important drives are backed up by Time Machine.
