Hi guys, I've been having a few panther woes today, hopefully someone here can help!
Last night when I got home I tried to wake up my iBook from sleepy mode, but it would only give me a black screen. Everytime I pressed a key it would beep angrily at me. This lasted for about 10 minutes until I decided to reset the laptop. This was fine except that when starting up, osx freezes on the screen with the apple logo and the little 'loading' disc that spins round (not exactly freezes, the disc still spinds, its just wont progress any further). I tried booting in safe mode (holding down shift) but it doesnt help.
Any ideas? I dont have my restore discs with me (left them at uni so I have no way of reinstalling the OS) and I need to get into my work thats stored on there. (Does using the restore discs format the disc or just erpair the installation?)
thanks for the help
