After not even touching my iBook for 4 days, the battery had gone flat. I forgot I left it in sleep when I left work, so when I came to it Sunday night, it was dead. The clock had been reset, and the only OS that would boot was the OS9.2 for Classic which is on the same partition as OSX.
After endless runs of disk doctor, I reset the PRAM on the off chance. This made OSX boot, and fsck found a string of errors on the drive. The OSX install seems to be fine now.
The thing is, my 9.1 install on a second partition won't boot. I just get an icon of a System Folder with a tear down the middle of it. I use this for audio work with Cubase & Reason.
I've tried erasing the disk, and reinstalling OS9.1 from the CD, but the same thing happens. Sometimes I get the icon of the mac with a smile, but everything stops a few seconds later.
I really don't want to have to erase the whole drive and start again, as it's taken me the past month to get OSX to a useable state for me including hours of fink installs.
Does anyone have any suggestions for making 9.1 or even 9.2 boot from my second partition again?
