Thanks again to all who answered questions related to my daughters G4
mirror door PowerMac and her disk drive. Here is the latest result.
I decided to try one last start up utilizing a known good 10.3 start up
dvd. This produced the same results as before (indefinitely spinning
wheel). I decided to let it spin all night. It did with no results.
I removed the hard drive and placed it in an external enclosure as was
recommended here. I then connected it to my MacBook. One partition
mounted (there are at least 3 partitions). The mounted partition's
re****ted size is about 75 GB. The whole drive is 80 GB. Available space
is shown as 23 GB. The mounted partition shown has only a few data files
and a system 9.2 folder and can't possibly be that large (about 50GB).
So my question is, is DiskWarrior worth trying? I would have to purchase
it.
I hope I am not being a pest.
