Note - The iBook is 10.2. I believe the desktop is a newer version, which is the reasonign behind this thread, however I am not positive. These are work computers, not my own personal ones, so I apologize for not having exact documentation on hand.
So, I have two Mac's here. An iBook and a desktop. The desktop was updating last night and it decided that it was going to make my life a little more difficult and the update failed. Now when the desktop boots, it just hangs at the white screen with the circular cursor moving.
I tried to boot the desktop in target mode to the laptop to at least recover data on it, however the laptop said something about the volume being corrupt.
I have since gone home and left my firewire cable at work, along with the computers, but I was curious to something. With the iBook, if I go into disk utility WHILE the desktop is plugged into the iBook via firewire, even though the iBook said it had messed up volumes (aka unreadable), would I be able to run first aid or any type of rebuilding utilities on the desktop drive?
