Hello,

I have a 5 years old ibook G4 running OSX Leopard. Recently I downloaded the latest software update (I think it is 5.5) and apparently the system worked fine. A few days later I transferred some photos into iphoto and afterwards the screen froze. I tried restarting again but I got the grey screen with the ´restart your computer´message.
Since then I have used Disk Warrior 4.1.1 and it fixed a bunch of stuff and I was able to access my files for a few minutes until the screen froze again.

I ran Disk Utility and it found the HD to be OK. Then I ran again Disk Warrior and gave me the following message: DETECTED PROPERTY LIST DATA IS DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED.
It mentions IPHOTOMOSAIC data list to be damaged.


Is there a way to fix the problem without having to reinstall the software again? Mine you I don´t have another Mac available to do a firewire connection.

Thanks a bunch!!!!
