Hey guys, I would like to know how to save my iBook essentially, and figured someone here might know.
iBook G4 1.42ghz, 14 inch. 1gb RAM. Running Leopard.
So I've been having problems with it freezing a lot recently, and making a chugging sound as it catches up (sounds like it's coming from the had drive, no idea).
I run disk utility, says invalid node structure? always freezes up when it gets to checking catalog.
So mac was still working, just freezing up sometimes.
I ran fsck -fy. It comes back with invalid node structure, same problem with catolog, then says **FILE SYSTEM MODIFIED**. I think 'great' it's fixed something maybe? Run it again, says now Volume Check Failed. disk03: I/O problem. (Sorry being a bit vague with details, terrible memory, will get exact details if needed).
So it won't start up now at all. I ran fsck -fy to fix it, and it's broken it. I'm backed up, which is good but I'm so poor I can't afford new one and no job, need this computer to send out CV's, do my blogging duties etc!
I have a copy of DiskWarrior 4.1.
Disk's in, turn it back on, hold C. Nothing, it just does what it did before the same, tries to boot up, hard drives makes a chugging sound, catches up, and then just turns off.
Hold down option key, won't show the disk, just my had drive.
When cmd-s. will run fsck -fy still, and will reboot.
Is there any way to save this iBook guys? At the moment the only thing with processing power I have is my Nintendo Wii, and my phone. What sucks it I recently bought more ram and a new charger for this mac, and now it's bust! And I have a old projector I love and use all the time, but nothing to connect to it now to watch movies from!
If anyone could help me I'd be very grateful. Has the hard drive completely failed? Is it all un repairable? Is it dead forever?
