Q: Turning old Powermac into a server
Tried to make my old PowermacG5 into a server with my new mac mini through Target Disc Mode and now powermac won't restart. The screen just has a big yellow FireWire symbol on it and that's as far as it gets. Please help, all my work is still on the Power mac and I need to access it!

Oh, are you calling target disk mode a server? Target disc mode isn't generally called a server. It's called target disk mode. Before the cloud there were servers.
I never heard of a computer being locked in target disk mode. You have to hold down some key to get your computer into this mode.
I'd try detaching your keyboard then booting. Might as well detach everything you can.

command is the windows key.
option is the alt key
