So my powerbook died a few weeks ago due to accident involving a six pack, a pizza and a power outage. But the upside is that I got a new macbook pro.
So I open up the powerbook and take out the harddrive and put it in an external usb container. I plug it in to try and recover my files but I can't find any of the jpgs. I did a search and it shows no jpgs on the 60 gb drive. But everything else appears to be there (applications, etc) and I was able to run a few programs directly from the drive.
Is it possible to boot to the old version of osx on that harddrive so I could directly look around on the desktop?
I'm still pretty new from windows and I have a hard time with this file structure.
