Oh crap

Mike, my PowerMac G3, just died on me. In the midst of attempting to download an Enterprise episode off Gnutella, the application froze. When I attempted to reboot, the dreaded "question-mark" folder appeared, and my recovery CDs don't seem to want to reboot the system, either.

Dad's in Malaysia so I don't even have help to lug Mike down to the shop for repairs. I'm hoping this can be cured - if not, at least get me my data back. Most of it's replaceable, except for the MP3s and the registered software serial numbers.

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.

Tried. The settings reset, as expected, but the question-mark still came up. :-(
