Hi I did possibly the most dumb thing you can do to a mac. I deleted The main Library folder (with the core files) to the trash can on accident. When i was trying to transfer it back things started disappearing(dock, clock,etc) and eventually got the spinning wheel. When i tried restarting i got the typical grey screen only now it flashes the apple logo and a circle with a line through it. At this point I would have just re-installed mac osx but my cd drive does not work. So my question is : Is there a way to access the trash to transfer it back? Can I re-install mac osx by purchasing an external cd drive (or does externals only work once booted up?)
FYI : This is a white13'' macbook running leopard
Also I can still access all the files via firewire by setting it as a target drive through my roommates macbook.
I really appreciate any help that anyone can give.thanks in Advance.
