seemed to have messed up my OS 10.5.5 because I filled up my hard drive

[olagunas1974]

I have a G4 titanium powerbook with OS 10.5.5. When OS X indicated to me that my HD was too low in memory, I attempted to trash some rather large media files which would give me enough HD space. I restarted and that is when my mac wouldnt restart and only went to a screen telling me to restart.

I used my installation disk as a startup disk to use disk utility in fixing my internal HD. It located my drive and I verified and repaired the disk but that didnt help. Also I did notice that disk utility identified my HD but couldnt mount it.

Using firewire, I connected my mac with a MacBook that has the same operating system. My HD didnt appear on the MacBook, but I was able to locate my HD using the disk utility program on the MacBook.

What do I do? seems like I need to mount my HD but not sure how to do that since there appear errors on the HD which prohibits that.

anyone can help?

Connect the two computers with the FireWire cable, as you have done. The PowerBook should be powered off when you do this.

Power on the PowerBook G4, and hold the 't' key as it boots -- you should soon see a FireWire symbol on the screen.

Go to the MacBook and the PowerBook G4's hard drive should be mounted on your MacBook's desktop as a FireWire drive -- you can now access the hard drive of the PowerBook G4 from the MacBook as if you were accessing an external FireWire drive.
