[QUOTE="Banshee365, post: 1248899, member: 193330"] Those Synology products look great, definitely something to look into. Do you guy's think it is worth attempting to try to repair the drive with DiskWarrior before sending it back to Apple? I'm wandering if it's worth a shot or if the odds of getting anywhere are really against me. I'm not sure how to hook up the drive to a working comp because we only have 1 Mac. I have a PC and I'm wandering if I could get a SATA-USB adapter and run something on my PC to repair the drive externally. Or maybe I could find someone else with a mac and boot ours up in target disk mode and attempt to read it that way. This video that I found show's exactly what our MBP is doing: [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpiBgXQCJ4k&feature=related]YouTube - Macbook Pro Won't Boot! Help![/url] Sending it off to Apple will fix the problem but will not get my pictures back. Is it worth wasting a week of getting the machine back and running trying to repair and recover the pictures off of the drive or does that video show issues DiskWarrior won't be able to touch? Thanks for the input guy's! [/QUOTE]
