The last of the iBook line, my 1.33 12" machine, took a small tumble the other day and quickly went from operative to a nice startup screen with an ever-spinning timer. Managed to mount it in target disk mode and ran Disk Utility, which ginned up the following report:
Looks like most of the info on there will be recoverable, but none the less, an unfortunate occurence. To new HD or just update to a newer refurb? So many questions.
Repairing disk for “Mac HD”

Disk Utility stopped repairing “Mac HD” because the following error was encountered:

1 volume could not be repaired
Looks like most of the info on there will be recoverable, but none the less, an unfortunate occurence. To new HD or just update to a newer refurb? So many questions.
