So, apparently after a power outage the other day OS 10 is toast. I did a bit of googling around and several sources advise to reinstall snow leopard from the install cd which would be fine, if my superdrive didn't crap out after 3 uses and I was too forgetful about my mini to get it replaced.
Anyone have any ideas or sources for perhaps installing from a USB drive? I can image snow leopard cd or lion from my mac book pro and perhaps fix it that way?
fsck failed and the only other option I can think of is installing my original hard drive back into my mini (since it still works) and then mounting the bad drive and working from there - but I would rather not have to go through all that trouble..
any help is immensely appreciated. tia.
