[Macpartners] G5 Power Book- Boot problem

[Stephen Goldman]

Hello Mac Partners,
         Request your opinions Mac OS X.3.2 G5 laptop problem. I'm not on 
site and his is a high profile customer for our team.

         I suggested to see if the machine can be started from a boot disk 
for now. Is there a rebuild function with this OS. IF there is this option 
will the data stay intact?

Thanks,
Stephen
