Umm, help? Jaguar problem.

Something very weird happened to my ibook today.

I turned it on once and got the black screen of death telling me I needed to power off and restart. Did that and everthing seemed fine. Started it up a couple more times and shut down normally. Then I tried to start it again and all of my files are gone. All of the stuff from my profile has just disappeared.

I turned off file vault thinking it was the culprit.

Tried to open the mattrice.sparseimage - that looks like it has the right size to be all of my data, but it is asking me for the "login" keychain password, and I type in the only password I have on this machine and it doesn't work.

Anyone know anything about this stuff? I sure as hell don't.

Well in OS X land, I find booting from the OS install disk, running disk utility and repairing the Permissions and the disk fixes all sorts of things. If that helps, but the problem recurs, get on the horn with them and get 'em to give you a new one.

Norton System works is an important adjunct to owning a computer.
