[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1301966, member: 46727"] Well, with all those problems it's hard to advise you where to start. Try the fresh reinstall first if you can somehow get your photos off the drive. Do you have a backup of the photos? Also, you might try activating the ROOT user account, log on as ROOT and extract your data that way. See this Apple KB article: [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1528"]LINK[/URL] If logging on with the ROOT account doesn't work to get at your photos, it's likely you have some hardware problems. Possibly hard drive corruption. [/QUOTE]
