<div>I recently screwed up my 700mhz ibook! here's what happened: my system has a mac 10.3 installed and was getting to be really slow. So i ran a Norton disc utility CD to optimize my hard drive. It boots mac OS 9.2 from a CD. I first ran the norton disc doctor, then the speed disc. When i restarted, it would first load the gray screen with the bitten apple, then it would go to this black screen that's kinda like a DOS environment, with these characters written on the top:
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>/etc/master.passwd: Not a directory</div>
<div>/etc/master.passwd: Not a directory</div>
<div>-sh: /etc/profile: Not a directory</div>
<div>-sh-2.05b#</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have never encountered this before. I have ran that same Norton disc utility a few times already and have always succeeded in restoring my system to the optimal state. But now, Instead of booting unto OSX, it go to this screen! Pardon my ignorance if it is a simple technicality. Someone please help me!
