target disk mode
My computer is beyond repair and needs to be erased and reinstalled. I however have data I need from the hard drive. I hopefully will be able to get the info off the errant drive with target disk mode. I have an ethernet cable that came with my ipod. Is this an acceptable ethernet cable or do I need something else? Thanks

all you need is another FW mac and a cable... boot the borked mac while holding T... it should boot with a FW symbol... then hood the 2 computers up with the cable and it should register as a FW HD...
hth
the new iPods (and old PC iPods) also come with a 4pin-6pin adapter that you attach to the 6-6 cable... it should work fine
