hi everyone,
i've been having probalems starting up for a week. every time my ibook crashed i would get the questionmark/folder flashing icon. i got error messages when i tried to boot from norton. to get onto my computer i needed to instal os x and then select the os 9 startup disc. the os9 disc doctor or whatever they call it said there was major mountcheck problems that could not be fixed.
my files have been backed up so thats ok. my question is - now that i'm ready to instal os x 10.3, should i just instal from the discs or should i first initialize the harddrive or something like this. does the installation process clean up everything before installing or should i first do something to repair the drive? sorry about the uninformed tone. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
devon armstrong
