[QUOTE="MangoJesus, post: 525821, member: 41280"] Thanks for the advice. I've tried holding shift on startup, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is there a particular time you have to start pressing them, or one or the other shift button that I should push? I've tried a lot of combinations but nothing seems to do anything. I suppose it's possible that the keyboard or keyboard cord is broken. In any case I can't get to the OS to throw out any folders, and there is nothing on the hard drive (I should have installed the OS when I had the chance!). When I made changes to the startup sequence (telling it to install the RAMDisk automatically), did it save those changes to some kind of RAM/ROM in the computer, or did it change my startup disk? If the former, maybe this flashing of the PRAM that I've read about would help? If the latter, maybe I should look into getting new startup disks. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
