I have a broken G4 mac book, if i hold down alt when booting i get a screen with two buttons and the name of the hd. How can i recover data from this disc to a working laptop?
I'd advise that if you don't feel comfortable voiding the warranty to goto an Apple Store. But you can buy USB devices on ebay for connecting raw harddrives to computers. So you can remove the harddrive from the G4 and connect it to another machine and copy the data off that way.
Think I can sort the problem by booting up holding T key, target disk mode, just waiting for the cable to come in the post. I'll let you know how it goes...
