| Hi Bob, Thanks a lot for taking the time to post that. When I did the fsck -f it came up with no problems, so I followed the rest of the instructions and rebooted. Now the spotlight icon has disappeared too, (no menu, no dock) but I still have my original desktop picture, which gives me some encouragement that I haven't lost all my data (yet!)  |

| Do you have another machine available that you could connect via Firewire Taret Disk Mode? You could retrieve your files that way, then reformat the drive.

| Update went smoothly. The only thing for me was that Internet Connect kept prompting me if I wanted to stay connected, I just went into prefs etc to turn it off; I never saw that prompt before. 10.4.3 has been behaving....now that I think of it, Classic has been rather slow, somewhat "stop and go", like when I play the old Wolfenstein game, it lags...and shouldn't considering what comp I have. Any way to improve Classic performance?

| Bob, I have, but it's a pc running xp, which i'm not sure will pick it up. I don't have a firewire cable, but the two computers have firewire ports, so i'll run out and get one if it's worth a pop. I am rather astonished that just following the advice from apple to update my os has left me in this kind of fix.... |
