Hi,
thanks for answering. No, Disk Utility cannot see the iBook disk as well.
I did so: the PB is on and the iBook in off. I connect the two computers
with both a FW cable and an Ethernet cable. Then I turn on the iBook holding
down the t key. Then I can see the big FW icon on the iBook. I wait 10
minutes and nothing happens on the PB. No icon in the Finder, no signals
with Disk Utility. I don't know Disk Warrior. Should I try that too?
Also, I tried to boot in traditional way and without extensions. I press
shif, then I see the dialog extension disabled, then I see the dialog
telling me that the computer has been not shutted down properly, then it
fixes the disk, it tells me the disk is OK, then I see a pregress bar at 10%
and there it freezes. So the disk should be OK.
Best Regards
