My powerbook won't boot. I've tried just about everything and want to just do an Archive & Install, but it won't let me select the option for transfering my user files... I beleive because I don't have enough free space on the hard drive. Is there any way I can access the hard drive and delete a few files without booting to OS X? Target disk mode is my last resort, but I don't have another mac handy right now.
Got a tip for us?

You could take the drive out and put it in an external enclosure. Otherwise, you might get further if you boot into Safe Mode.
