[QUOTE="XxdaniellexX, post: 1119437, member: 174232"] So apparently I don't have the right firewire cable to run Target Disk Mode. I only have a 6 to 6pin cable. I need a 4 to 6 pin for the Macbook I'm using. So in the mean time (until I can get the cable) I ran disk utility with my install disk and repaired the disk and permissions. disk repair came back as "Disk apprears to be OK" and "No repairs needed". After this I was able to boot up to my desktop. Plugged in my external hd and ran time machine to back up everything one last time. Now I am going to do a clean erase and install again with Leopard (I have bought Snow Leopard, but apparently it doesn't work well with Adobe CS3). Hopefully I can get all my stuff back onto my computer from Time Machine with no problem... [/QUOTE]
