Hi guys-
First off, I apologize if this should've been in the software forum as opposed to this one.
My problem is this: I finally updated the software on my Mac Mini (which is running tiger). It was almost done installing the software update when it said that it couldn't be finished. After that, my computer froze. When I tried to restart it, it would start to turn on, then say there was an error, and I needed to restart. Even if I restarted, the same error would happen. So I got out my OS X install discs to reinstall the software. Unfortunately, it cannot reinstall OS X, because I don't have enough free disc space. It claims my only option is to erase my hardrive, which having all my music and pictures, is not something I'm rushing out to do. Luckily, this happened just after finishing my college applications.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to how to get my computer to turn on? Kind of ironic that my nice Mini isn't working, so I'm using my mom's Pismo lol.
Thanks and peace,
-Brady
