[Ti] Mac is completely Down (Platinum Powerbook 1g mem)

M_flynn:

As yet another happy Diskwarrior customer, I would add my encouragement.

Diskwarrior has gotten me out of myriad problems! If you can mount the drive 
via another computer (per Barbara's instructions), try to get DW to rebuild 
the drive's directory. This may very well fix things, such that you can then 
boot up from the formerly uncooperative disk.

Good Luck, and let us know!
