I have a 933 G4 which wont boot because of HD problems and Disk Utility will not fix the disk. I lost my Norton CD and was wondering if I could put the problem HD into another computer as a slave drive and then run fsck -y on it. If I can whats the code to run it on the slave drive.
Thanks Chris. Out of curiosity if I have 2 or more drives hooked up and I enter single user mode and run fsck -y will it check all of my drives or do i have to specify which drive itll check?
... If no filesystems are given to fsck then a default list of filesystems is read from the file /etc/fstab ... Filesystems with pass number 1 (normally just the root filesystem) are checked one at a time. When pass 1 completes, all remaining filesystems are checked, running one process per disk drive. ...
