Help!! Renamed System folder

[edwardk9]

I renamed my system folder while trying to do something. Stupid Stupid!

Is there anyway to rename the file back? I can't boot into anything but open firmware. Is it possible to do it from there?

Do you have an OS X CD or DVD? You can boot from that.

 

[edwardk9]

yeah I have Tiger CD's but is there any way to change the name of the file back? I really don't want to reinstall everything.

You should be able to boot into the Tiger install DVD, mount your Macintosh HD, and rename your system folder from there.

How would I do that? I have booted into Tiger installation but I do not have any options to rename files.


I have disk utility, startup disk, system profiler and network utility.

or connect it to a different computer and change it from there

I have a PC and a Mac. So no Target disk mode.

I used a ubuntu livecd to rename the system file!

Thanks for all the suggestions, however!
