Make a new backup by using firewire to another computer and restarting it in Target mode. You should be able to drag all your files off. Good luck.

I wish I had good news to share but I don't. My friend's iBook just had this problem. She had forgotten her password and her hint was not good enough. We used the Tiger install disk to reset the password and then got the "No available users. I tried many things including removal of...

The genius bar said it sounds like a netinfo corruption and the entire drive needs to be erased and reloaded... Anybody know a workaround to a netinfo problem?

OK, I'll try it. Can you tell me how to remove the file using target mode? I am not sure how to access this from OSX. I understand how to do Single User commands on the machine standalone. How do I get to the file from another machine using target mode? Thanks eric2006!

Does anyone have a fix to this? I am having the same problem on an iBook following Tiger upgrade. Forgotten password. Reset with install DVD. Then shaky-shaky login requesting user and password over and over. Try to reset again with install DVD and get "No available users" for the drive...

i have an iBook G4. I loaded Tiger and it booted fine. Then I used Software Updater to download the latest version. It asked for the admin password. Well, I don't have it. It is actually a friend's computer and she could not remember the password even with the hint. So I used the Tiger Install...

I seem to have probelms on my iMac G5 20" iSight with printing to an HP Deskjet 6540 where it dometimes will only print one page of the job. Any ideas of the source of the problem?
