Hello,
I hope that more enlightened Mac users will be able to help me.
My G4 Powerbook will turn on, chime, but not boot. It goes to a black screen (?the single-mode user screen?) and reads: /etc/master.passwd: No such file or directory
I have, as of late, been ignoring my laptop's ominous warnings: The start-up disk is almost full.
Unfortunately, I put off figuring out what that meant. Now, it seems as if my HD is too full to start.
So... is there a way that I can remove files from the hard drive to enable it to start?
After researching, I have tried the following:
Using FirstAid in Disk Utility: Each time it repairs the HFS Volume. Meaning that, once it has repaired the HFS volume and I check it again, it says that it has fixed it again. If it fixes it each time, is it really fixed?
PROptionCommand @ start-up
Apple Hardware Check
I haven't yet been able to start the computer in "Safe Mode."
Thank you for any suggestions you may have to offer.
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 3.0.3
If your machine has all the updates and stuff
