A friend of mine is having problems with her iMac. I'm not very good at resolving Mac software problems, because my macs don't throw them up often enough. I'll be suggesting a backup while it still works, and then a low-level format/installation from scratch. Can anyone here suggest anything? Here is what she wrote:-
Hey ho!
I am in a spot of bother with my good friend Mr iMac..... can you
please help me??
I have had to swap over to MacOS X (blech...) because it is the only
way to get it to boot. Apparently I have a system error or something... and when I run Disk First Aid... it tells me this: Problem: invalid key length, 4,8763
Am worried it is some hideous fatal error... it keeps threatening me with not booting again.... eeek.... for now, MaxOS X will load... but me is very scared.
Do you know what is wrong with my little baby??? How can I fix it? I tried reloading 9.2... which it can do, but it doesn't fix the error... and it even tells me so.... very worried... very worried indeed....
Help pleeeeease!
