ok i know what i did but apple dosent have a clue how to fix it...read on....
I was on my ibook and i wanted to have 3 simple master folders and ive done this on my powermac and it worked fine so i was moving a start-up folder (have have no clue witch one,i no i wasnt suppose to but i wasnt really paying attention to the fact that i was moving a start-up folder) and instantly my mac went into wait......after 5 minutes of waiting i restarted my ibook (not knowing what the problem was) and all i got when i start up is a MASSIVE kernal panic and i cant do anything (ill post a pic later) i thought it wasnt that big of a deal so i went to apple.com and looked on how to fix th probelm after reading EVERYTHING on eraseing a kernal i determend im gonna hve to install osx after an hour of fishing medal of hounor out of my drive i insterted osx i held down "c" as it starts up like the document says and all i get is the grey apple still...nothing happends after ive held "c" for like 5 mins and try at lest 3 times i determened that this isnt gonna work so i read to see i might have to reset the nvram? (i think thats what its called) i do it nothing happends still just the old KERNAL PANIC message...argh so i read more on how to fix this problem and try to start with reinstalling mac os 9...idk why the doc just said "if nothing above solves the problem than reinstall os9 and then from there reinstall os x" so i tryed...still it locks up at the gray apple......SOOO then i call our personal computer guy "mike" mike says keagan...youve got a huge problem and i said NO ****...(sorry) and he says he will try to make it by tonight but if not first thing tomarrow so i thought so this problem solved..."cuz mike knows everything,right...right" well i wake up at 1 pm..and my dad says still no sign of him yet soo i call his cell and get his voice mail and hes ALWAYS good on calling people so at 4 pm stlll no sign of him 7 pm rolls around still no sign i call him back up telling him im not gonna be home till midnight so he'll have to wait till morning sunday i wake up and thought i called him 2 times i didnt hear from him the whole day so at 7 i call apple and ask them whats wrong the guy basicly reads fromn the article "fixing eraced kearnals and other start up problems" and i tell him IVE DONE EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID!!! LIKE 543 TIMES the guy says he dosnet know whats wrong and says ill have to send it in and and i might need a new hard drive "ive gone thought 2 alreadly" and say i can fix that!....so it being sunday and 10pm i decide to give a shot in the moring after school so i get home a get rip open the package of the hard drive that my mom bought and replace it (and i know i did it right cuz ive done it 4 times) and STILL I GET THE KEANAL PANIC!!!! and oddly enough "mike" the cpu guy walks though the front door and trys to restill osx AGAIN by holding "c" and says wow man your really good at breaking computers.hahahahaha **** YOU!...(sorry) so he takes the computer (he lives like 5 mins away) and calls me back a half and hour later and says dude i think youve got bad ram i dont because i have installed the gig a bought yet and i tell him thats in possable because its solder into the logic board..well he says "i think its gone" i said YOUR INSANE i just said its in the board soo he says welp call apple..."dude"......i said did it......soooooooo im asking you guys *** IS WRONG WITH MY COMPUTER
