Mini-Me is Hosed
I tried Kurt's suggestion (booting into OS 9) to get rid of the phantom file in my Trash. I couldn't see a Trash (.Trash) folder in /Users/matt, so I tried clicking on and using the iClean app that was sitting on my desktop. I guess I installed it at some point. Anyway, it fixed a bunch of my aliases, cleaned up my internet cache and such. When I rebooted into OS X, I get the Mac equivalent of the BSOD. It says You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button for several seconds or press the Restart button. I tried using the Disk Utility on Jaguar Disc 1 with no luck (errors abound when trying to repair the disk), and I am unable to re-install OS X because there is no destination drive to install to. So in other words, I've completely f****ed up my Mac again - with little hope for fixing it. I thought this was supposed to be the "friendly OS?"
This is what usually happens when I spend all day on the computer goofing off - I shoulda done some actual work.
Update: I found the problem is a good ol' Kernel Panic. I'll be testing out Apple's tech support folks tomorrow. Posted in Mac OS X at Nov 12 2002, 03:18:27 PM MST 3 Comments
