Hi im new to the threads and in need of some help, i have an older Powerbook G4 with a 1.25ghz processor, about a month ago i was going through and clearing out some old programs that i had and when i went to delete them it locked up so i had to do a force quit, after doing this the computer wont boot it just gets to the apple screen with the spinning thing and just sits there for about 5 mins then shuts off. i cant find my OS disk for it either but was able to find my ibook g4 install disc, which of course i cant load onto this computer, and put it in and went into disk utlities and ran the diagnostics and repairs and it found no problems said everything was fine and still wont boot, just wondering if anybody has any ideas on what the problem could be i have tried doing all of the resets and nothing worked, all of my saved programs, music, etc are still on the hard drive so i know the hard drive is fine im starting to wonder if i didnt delete something that was in a folder and didnt realize it, if anybody has any ideas on what the problem could be would be helpful, i also went into the terminal mode and it stopped booting when it got to the command
Load of /sbin/launchd, errno 2, trying /sbin/mach_init
Load of /sbin/launchd failed, errno 2
and that is it, let me know what you guys think i should do from here, also i am in the navy and currently on deployment so i dont have the ability to just go to the store and pick up a new copy of osx so if i can get around this without reloading osx i would be very happy.
