Help, I have a possible dead imac, it was running OSX10.5, infact I had only done a clean install a couple of weeks back, and was running great since.
I hadn't used it in a few days and decided to boot it up to get some work done on it today, but during the boot I hear the fans/drive spin up then it shuts down
I have tried the apple+s boot, and ran the File System Check, but it shows the following;
** /dev/rdisk0s3
** Root file system
** Checking journaled HFS Plus Volume.
disk0s3: I/O error.
Invalid B-tree node size
(3,0)
** Volume check failed.
/dev/rdisk0s3 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8
-sh-3.2#
I hope some one is able to desifer the above, and can guide me.
It looks to me to be a boot disk error, but I am not that familiar with Mac boot systems.
