Hello,
I have recently upgraded my powermac Quicksilver to Tiger, so it has been seeing much more use. Yesterday, it hung up on the apple logo while booting, so I held down the power button until it completely shut off. When I booted it up today, the desktop had resorted to its default picture which gave me a strange feeling. Then I snooped around the computer, and the contents of my iTunes library, Documents folder, and Pictures folder were gone. The applications I have recently downloaded were still there, though. In addition the original 12 year old 80 gig hard drive has been clicking a lot louder than usual these past couple of days. Is the hard drive about to melt down and these are the warning signs?
Thanks for any help,
BeeHive
