My macbook's hard drive crashed this summer and I just finally got a new hard drive. I should have looked into it more but had been told it was really easy.
First of I don't have a Torx T8 screwdriver. which i need to get the case off my old hard drive and onto my new one. first problem. which should be fixed if i go and buy one.
but the biggest problem is I do not have restore disks. I bought my mac from a used PC store that sold it to me cheap cause no one wanted to buy a mac (silly people) so not only do I not have restore disks, my disk drive doesn't work either.
so what I want to know. where can i get restore disks. is that something i can download? also can i make a disk image on a flashdrive or external hard drive that i could plug in and restore my hard drive and programs?
please help!! I can't afford to have someone do this for me so im stuck wandering in the dark figuring out how to do this.
thanks.
