I have a buddy who is having G4 Powerbook problems which is stopping him from booting up. He's tried Disk Warrior and that wouldn't repair it. I'm pasting some of the on-screen messages he's getting but this is as far as he can get before it hangs. I may be posting too much but hopefully it might help someone smarter than me interpret what's going on. He was afraid to re-install until I posted this message (also at my suggestion) since he's hoping his data is still all there. Any advice I can pass along to him. I've got Tech Tool Pro but he lives about an hour away. I thought about having him come over, connecting the Powerbook to my G4, via Firewire and Target Disk mode but if it won't start up, that idea won't help. Thanks a lot.
