I was told on another forums I should probably ask here, so here goes:
Basically, my trusty G5 got a bit of a knock & subsequently died. Now it refuses to startup for more than 30 seconds without shutting down again, unless booting from the Drive Genius dvd. I assume it needs a complete wipe & restore from time machine backup.
Alas, I haven't backed up my files for a few months now & there are a couple of things I'd quite like to keep hold of. So, I've dug my old iMac out of storage & have used the Target Mode via firewire to try & get access to my old files.
The G5 Mac HD shows up in Disk Utility on the iMac, but nowhere else.
Any ideas how I can get access to the files?
