[G4] trying to extract data

[Valerie Maples]

Dear Jamie;

Hopefully the Quicksilver will boot one more time, although it cannot boot
to the hard drive.  I ordered the FireWire cable from Mac connection
overnight, so I should be able to test it tomorrow night.  I hope this will
work and save me the grief of trying to remove the hard drive, install it as
a slave drive, and then replace it to ship the machine back.

Wish me luck!  :-)

Hi Valerie,

If the QuickSilver can still boot, you can start it up with the "t" key 
held down... this will boot the machine as a firewire drive. Plug it 
into your new machine and you can copy stuff off it with little 
difficulty.

smiles,
Jamie
