so my g4 powerbook recently has gotten really slow and kept freezing. so today it froze again, and i turned off the power by pushing the power button. when i restarted, it got stuck on the boot-up screen (Grey apple with the spinning wheel). I'm pretty sure that the hard drive is going to fail on me, so i bought disk warrior (as someone told me) to salvage my files.

now i dont know what to do! :confused: there's the option to rebuild, check files, and check hardware. Do i do everything? Again, i'm pretty sure i cant save it anymore and will probably buy a new hard drive. I just want to get my files :(

on a side topic, where can i get a new hard drive/installation (i live in the SF bay area) and what kind is reliable/good?
