So I’m surfing along on my iMac and all of a sudden everything seizes up! After booting with an install disk, I find out that my filesystem is well fooked. Basically its not even bootable. Well crap.
I had too much on there to just let it go, so after a day of working on the poor box with DiskWarrior, I have made a full recovery! Whew…
Of course I immediately started up Time Machine. If I every have this problem again, it will be a much easier fix!
