[QUOTE="karolanne2002, post: 851736, member: 102951"] You guys have been great... I thank you so much for your time! I am using a PC laptop now... very bitterly, but I need it to sort this out and I am thankful I had not sold it yet. No, I cannot run Disc Utility at all... here is what I can do... *I can command "s" and get a log... journal magic bad... *I can "option" and I see my os although if I click the arrow I end up back at the "kernel panic four languages" *I can get to the OF screen and "mac-boot" but again I end up at kernel panic... I also did all the resets Kevriano suggested. I am not sure how I ended up with the blinking folder a couple of times... I CANNOT "shift" and boot into safe mode... goes right to kernel panic I was looking at another post where Kevriano suggested "Diskwarrior" and it worked... (also he mentioned Limewire as being a potential problem) I have also seen this on some searches... I was going to order it, but it says that firmware must be updated (I do not know if it has been or not as I just got the computer) and I guess I must get the latest version for Leopard... One thing I am confused about also is if Leopard was loaded shouldn't there be some previous OS I can boot into? When I go to start screen it only shows one choice "X"... When I read the "Darwin" screen it says "OS NOT YET SET" Money is super tight, but if Diskwarrior is what I need I will get it... I am very sad to be back on a pc :( I did have an old touchscreen g3... just sold it... too bad if I could have used it to help. Again, you all have been great! I do not want to give up... I really love my Mac! I just need to learn a little more about what I am doing... [/QUOTE]
