Not having a copy of OSX on hand, I decided to try and recover it from the harddrive. But this was a long time ago, I got somebody from the local hackerspace to help me fix it. I ended up having to replace the stock hard drive with one I had lying around here at the house. Taking that machine apart and reassembling it was a challenge as I've never worked on a circular case before...we ended up restoring a backup dmg on to it, and over Firewire it took a few days, but it worked. | |
