[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1326243, member: 24160"] You should already have your data backed up - if not, you could be too late. If it were happening to me, I would quit using the drive. Get a new one, install it, get the OS installed. Get an external drive and create a backup before you do anything else. Get either a [URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/U3NVSPATA/"]USB universal IDE/SATA adapter[/URL] or [URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/NewerTech/Voyager/Hard_Drive_Dock"]hard drive dock[/URL] to be able to connect your now removed hard drive and attempt to salvage what you can. Just a couple of examples for externally connecting bare drives. [/QUOTE]
