I've a PB problem - Got one volume with both 9.2.2 and 10.2.6 installed on it. I booted into 9 attached an external lacie drive and it made a no-show after about 4 minutes, I switched off the external (power light went off), unplugged the drive and rebooted - after the PB's start-up I got the dreaded 'flashing suitcase'
I have started up with the 'Software install and restore - DVD' but this just try's to do a clean reinstall of 10. I have zapped the pram and all that old niner stuff but nothing I do will make the PB boot normally into 9 or boot me back into the 10.2.6 system folder ( like holding the X key down when starting up ). I have been able to firewire ( TKey ) all my work off the PB
onto another Mac but dread the reinstall of all that software :(

Any way out of this or is it reinstall hell time?
