[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 837815, member: 56231"] Do you have the original disks that came with that G5 tower? Hopefully so, then you can boot from Disk 1 and run checks/repairs from it, rather than from the HD, which may have a corrupted boot sector by the look of things. If the above doesn't work, get Disk Warrior [not cheap :(]; or take the G5 to a Mac tech who has DW to use. Either way, analysis and repair appears necessary. [/QUOTE]
