Hello,

a week ago I was working with Adobe Illustrator CS2, Adobe GoLive CS2 and Adobe Photoshop CS2 all day to continue my work on a design project.

At the end of the day I wanted to quit all applications. All applications quitted without problems except Adobe Illustrator CS2. I pressed command-q in Adobe Illustrator. The program seemed to quit, however, the MacOS X Finder (command-tab & Dock) indicated that Adobe Illustrator CS2 was still active.

So, I waited a couple of minutes. But for some reason, Adobe Illustrator CS2 did not quit.

I tried to restart my computer via the Finder, but my computer was no longer responding. Thus, I was forced to press the power button of my PowerMac G5 to evoke a restart.

And then ... well ... a big shock ... my computer was not able to find my boot drive. I only got a grey screen with the "no boot drive symbol". Thus, I have made another test by pressing the power button of my G5 once again. Same result, my PowerMac G5 was not able to find a boot drive.

Since it was already very late and I was just too tired to install a new and clean MacOS X version on my computer, I decided to shut down the computer entirely and leave it as it is until the next morning.

Surprisingly, my PowerMac G5 did find the boot drive once again after I turned on my machine the next day.

Has anyone out there made similar experiences?
