My G4 Power Book crashed yesterday, I was running photoshop browser, and when I came back to the computer it had a black screen. I tried to restart it, but I only got a blue screen, no icons at all. I have tried various combinations to restart it. when I held the option key and started it I got 2 arrows on the screen and the watch symbol, after a few minutes the watch stopped moving and nothing would happen. I tried to move the mouse while the watch was moving, it moved very slowly, but don't do anything when clicking on the arrows. I restarted with the install cd for Mac os X. Opened disk utility, but the message I got when I tried to verify the HD was The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)
1 volume ckecked
OHSF Volumes varified
1 volume failed varification
First aid gave a similar message. Any ideas other than to reinstall software. As I have files that are not backed up!
