Ok so i'll give u the whole story of what i was doing before my system did this,
I installed a new 120GB maxtor internal SATA drive. Drive was recognized without a problem. I then partitioned it as Free space.(I'm a 2 day old mac user). I then uninstalled pro tools LE from the main system drive and went to reinstall.. This time Pro tools did not let me select which drive to install as the first install did, instead if reinstalled on the system drive. So i thought i possibly choose the wrong partition for my new drive. I then tried mac partition, then that didn't work, i tried a Journaled partition. I then tried to open the txt editor to see if could save a file to the new drive to see if it would work. The program wouldn't open, no program would open after repeated clicks. Expose hot keys still worked. Eventually the system hung itself, and i had to reset. Now everytime i boot i get a PANIC: were hanging in here error along with such commands as: /root/blah blah blah : RELEASE_PPC
Stack, cpu: 0 ,
thinks like that, obviously not exactly typed and in that order....
Any help? how do i open the CD drive if i have to re install the OS? How do i get around this boot problem? what do i do? haha im a complete newb, i tried running the computer holding shift etc.. anything other combos i should try? thanks.
