[HM] firewire startup a fizzer

[Jim Norman]

Hi Pat,

First, install Disk Warrior on your desktop machine.

Second, connect your powerbook to the desktop machine using the 
firewire cable.

Start up the desktop machine normally, and start up the powerbook 
holding down the the T key so that it launches in target mode. It will 
appear as another disk drive on the desktop computer.

Run Disk Warrior and select the powerbook drive to rebuild the desktop 
file on that particular disk.

Let us know how you go.

Jim
