Archive everything when you install. What does "glitches" mean, exactly?

If you have another computer, you could plug in the hard drive out of this one as a slave and recover what you want from there. Then reformat, and try to install again.

He's saying you can open up your faulty iBook (be warned: research this) and pull out the hard drive to use in a desktop or external enlosure.
A mini-IDE to IDE connecter would be the cheapest.
