10.3 boots up to a grey ghostbusters type x symbol. I have tired booting off the CD and doing a repair disk and repair permissions, no help. Any ideas?
If I do a archive and install what does this actually back up? I have a lot of data in different places, and I would rather not lose it all.

Archive and install deletes nothing.

Your computer is haunted. You need to get rid of it before you become possessed by it. You should give it away before it is too late. Do you need my mailing address?
Archive and install will fix it without losing anything.
DiskWarrior will probably fix it too. It will fix the problems with your drive and then put up a dialog asking to bless the correct system on your drive. This is providing you haven't done something really bad to your system.

Heh, yeah cool idea. I thought it was a very good description anyway. Even though I've never seen that at start-up before, I could picture it and guess at the meaning just from that description - very cool  .

wanna provide some more information about your system? i've come across this twice:
1. i worked out it was a corrupt slave hard disk
2. a powerbook with a powerlogix G4 upgrade which kernel panicked (not mine)
how i fixed'em:
1. i removed the dead drive (duh). fixed. fsck said all was well, because it was only checking the boot disk
2. a bit more complex. the upgrade card rendered the powerbook keyboard useless, so i plugged in an external keyboard, threw an OS 9 cd in there, booted holding the C on the new keyboard, booted into 9, told it to boot into OS X from the drive. fixed. ran diskwarrior to be sure.
both times, no need for reinstalling anything.
