[QUOTE="tomlad, post: 720271, member: 66383"] Hello to all, first of all i hope ive posted this in the right forum! anyway, im having major problems with my mac mini, ive encountered one of these kernal errors, its huge and appears when the mac first turns on. at the end it says panic! were going down (or something similar). ive read loads of stuff on the net but its not really helped me too much, ive tried holding ALT when it boots and i sometimes get it to a purple screen with two arrows on it and a mac HD icon, when i press the swirly arrow, nothing seems to happen, then i press the sideways on arrow, it takes me to the kernal error screen. I cant boot from disc as it never seems to let me. it was working fine and then now its just decided to crash. i was deleting files as i was originally trying to completley format the HDD because im selling the Mini, but it wouldnt seem to let me boot from disc? i think i might of deleted the users folder and then also the system folder (which is pretty stupid i know) is there anything i can do? im a bit worried here! ps, its a powerG4 1.44ghz mini, with 80gb HDD and 1 gb of ram. and ive got the os 9 install disc. thanks alot tom [/QUOTE]
