Thanks, Dave--I tried your suggestion to no avail.

Trying to take your suggestion of "First, don't panic"--getting harder.

Does this mean that I did not backup a bootable copy?

I performed a "backup all files" command c SD--is this bootable?

Any ideas on how to recover from this point?

I'm assuming that I have data on my ext FW Hard Drive (the folders are there).

Should I go ahead and try an "erase and install with tiger"?
