    So here's the final story. I plugged in another monitor and there was a flashing ? mark. I put the system CD in and the main harddrive no longer showed up at all. So I installed the system software on what was the second drive and set that as the start up disk. Once I had the OS running again the main HD showed back up for some reason. I was able to copy my old apps from it. It locked up 3 times doing simple stuff like throwing stuff away off the old HD. I've used Disk Warrior before so I guess it's a physical problem. I guess thats why my computer still locks up a lot even though OSX is supposed to be very stable. I guess Trinitron monitors just wont wake up if there's a problem.
