Hi
I am new to this forum, please excuse me if my question is redundant I couldnt find a solution.
I am getting a folder with question mark upon start up, I have tried holding down the c key with the original os cd and did the disk repair thing, that worked for a day and now it's back. Iwas told that I need to reinstalll osx, or trying turning off extentions in os 9 to trouble shoot. I looked into the extensions panel for os 9 and was too overwhelmed, so that option is out.
I have 2 hard drives installed on my g4, most of the pertinent info is on hard drive 2, can Isafely do a reinstall without harddrive 2 files being affected.
I know I need to back up my files, so second question is, what is the easiest, less painful way to accomplish this. I do not have dvd burner, we are talking about 15 gigs of info. Should I try to rent some server space some where to upload my files or should get a burner, or is there another alternative I am overlooking.
Your help would be more than appreciated, as I am completely depressed.
many thanks,
Max
