Here's the situation: My freind had installed 10.4 on the original 3.2 gig HDD, but I had an 80 gig lying around, so he took that and installed 10.4 on it so I could have some space to do stuff.
But when I installed it, the folder with the "?" comes up? Can I get around this? I don't know how 10.4 was loaded, or what kind of Mac it was loaded on originally.
But it would be fun to be able to mess with this thing. With the 3.2 gig I don't really have too much space to do anything. I don't want to give it back to him, cause he's messed with this thing so much, I don't want to bother him with it again. Also, I want to learn.

Thanks.
