[QUOTE="Chilbear, post: 579630, member: 32643"] I don't have the magic answer for you but I see good news. You drive is OK because of the diagnostics from the /fsck reply. Your drive is fine and you are in OS X and it is fine. BUT you are trapped in Terminal the Unix core that runs OS X. My best guess is you are fine but it is very confused. The OS X CD you borrowed - was it grey because they are machine specific and it does not match your machine. I am Terminal dumb to be honest so while we wait for a tech type of person to respond, are you logged into Apple support and I would guess you are looking for Terminal commands (you are working in Unix) that may work out the issues. You really need the disk that came with your machine or a retail version with Black not Grey. Wish I could be more help. Did you install any software when you installed the Modem? Edit - your Leopard disk will change lots of things as you are on Tiger not Leopard. Installing Leopard is not the best move unless you are willing to possibly lose everything on your machine. You need to get your machine stable before moving to Leopard IMO. [/QUOTE]
