I'm trying to get all the files from my old mirror-door G4 running 9.2 onto a new iMac. However, when I boot the G4, I get as far a the Happy Mac icon but that's as far as it will go.
I've tried starting from the MacOS X (10.3) disk but when I use the 'change startup disk' option, neither the OS X nor the 9.2 partitions show. Disk Utility won't repair the disk (comes up with an 'underlying error' message). Disk Warrior refuses to build an alternative directory that can be used, and reports that there is no system folder.
Surely there must be a recognisable System Folder as otherwise all I'd get would be a Sad Mac, right?
Help would be much appreciated around about now...
