Thanks Fryke, am looking forward to the new set up !!

I plan to buy a Mac Mini to use as a media centre. Plan is to hook it up to my plasma screen via an HDMI or DVI connector. I have an iMac G5 upstairs on a Linksys wireless internet connection. My questions are: 1. Will the Mac Mini connect directly to my TV with a simple DVI cable ? 2...

Is it possible in some way to have all the wonderful digital media on my Mac sent through the ether to me lovely home theatre system ? I was thinking that if I had a connector of some sorts on my amplifier would I be able to stream videos etc. from iTunes on my mac ? I could of course...

Insert disk 1 of your install disk & re-boot whilst holding down the C key. You will then get a Mac OSX screen up & will be able to select disk utility from the menu. Repair permissions and you might want to also try verifying the disk to make sure that that is OK too ....

Chris, Everything was working fine from my new internal HDD, then, after my Mac being in sleep mode all night, on wake up it froze. I ran the Apple hardware test on the CD supplied & it failed the mass storage test with the following error code: 2STF/8/3:S-ATA Bus 0 Master Any ideas ...

Sorry, sorry, sorry, forgot. Have to re-boot from install disk & then partion my new internal HDD.

OK, have got my brand spanking new HDD, a 250GB monster. But, when I boot from my 6GB 'repair' external disk, I cant see the new internal HDD in disk utility ?? Do I have to do something to make it recognisable ? Have I missed a step somewhere ?

This seems to have worked wonderfully Chris. I have an external firewire drive. This now has OSX10.4.7 on it in partition 1, partition 2 has the cloned internal HD. I have run disk repair on partition 2 and it is clean as a whistle ! OK, so, whilst I wait for the new internal drive to...

Thanks Chris, I'll get going on that. Annoying about the HDD given that my mac is just over 1 year old and out of the warranty.

OK, I have managed to do the repair disk from my OSX Panther instalkl disk. I still have an Invalid leaf record count which I guess is not too healthy ? Any advice on what to do next ?

I have only got Tiger upgrade disk. How do I create a restore DVD ?

OK, have managed to get back into OSX, sometimes it goes to the login screen and sometimes it doesnt ?! Have run the disk utility, which stopped with the following error: The underlying task reported failure on exit The button to repair disk is greyed out ? I have a number of line items...

My iMac G5 wont boot up. I get the grey apple screen but the login never appears. I ahve tried to boot in safe mode (holding down the shift key) but that causes the fan to start at full tilt. Am very much an Apple beginner, an 'fischer-price' type advice for me ?
