Q: Powerbook G4 stopped working it cuts on but no spinning disc symbol..won't run I installed the start up disk and it starts up but disk first aid says there is something wrong can't repair it..what do I do now? Do I erase everything and start over?
The G4 comes on but that is as far as it goes...I installed the startup disc it started and I tried disk first aid but it says it can't be repaired????If I erase everything will this fix the problem as well as make me lose everything?
The firsat aid box says:
" REPAIRING DISK FOR "HARD DRIVE"
checking HFS Plus volume
Checking events Overflowfile
Checking catalog file
Invalid node structure ( this is in RED )
rebuilding catalog B-tree
The volume Hard drive can not be repaired ( in red)
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972_) (in red)
