[QUOTE="ibooker, post: 1081627, member: 165121"] Hi thanks for replying. Currently the boot freezes within a couple of minutes, usually on the apple screen, though i have once or twice got as far as logging in and seeing all my icons/programs before it stalls. I therefore hope one day i can still access the files! I tried the hardware test CD that came with the ibook years ago, I have also tried booting a OSX Panther CD. I'm assuming they would be bootable. I forgot to mention that in linking with the G5 in target mode, a disk that I put in the ibook drive appeared on the G5 desktop as an external drive, therefore I wonder why i cannot see the actual ibook drive mounted. The CD drive works as it mounted on the G5. ...... Si [/QUOTE]
