So I have a 2.2GHz C2Duo MacBook Pro and it's been pretty much flawless since I bought it 2 years ago.
However today I had some issues. I was installing a game from an ISO I had on my computer and needed to install Daemon tools. I installed Daemon tools and it had an error and then I rebooted into Mac and it failed. Earlier in the day I was also using MacDrive 7 to watch a movie. MacDrive7, if you're not aware, is a program for Windows which allows you to read/write to a Mac formatted drive/partition. I have been sketchy about it ever since it corrupted a external hard drive of mine a few times...and I think it may have done that today.
I boot into Windows fine. I boot into Mac and I get to the spinning circle and then the fans shut off and 3-5 seconds later the screen goes black and the machine is totally off. Anything I can try? Is there a Windows program which can repair Mac formatted partitions? I know that is a weird request but I bet there is one out there somewhere...hopefully. I have all of my papers/homework/etc. on there and they aren't backed up anywhere.
Any help is appreciated!
