[QUOTE="jkobylt, post: 543691, member: 43150"] Hello Everyone! I have the most peculiar problem at hand. My Macbook Pro (beginning of 2006), has a hard drive failure, or so I'm told by the Mac people. But here's the catch: My hard drive is partitioned into two, with one partition containing Windows and the other Mac OSX. I am writing this email from my Windows side. I use boot camp to switch in between. So here's my question: - How can I operate Windows on a broken hard drive? It seems to me like this is a common problem, these hard drive failures. In fact, I'm starting to believe that Macbooks are programmed to do this at random times so we can pay out to get them fixed. I have been troubleshooting and it says that my hard drive is not mounted. How can it not be mounted if Windows is working? Shouldn't the whole computer be inaccessible? I don't have a warranty, don't have much money right now, and this computer is one problem after another. Both my fans are dead, my DVD burner doesn't burn, and my pixels are dying. Is this what you get for $3,500? What a waste. What should I do? What is the problem? [/QUOTE]
