[QUOTE="cirdan, post: 1260109, member: 206312"] many thanks for the reply. i am sorry for not putting the specs up, it was late and i was trying to remember what i wanted to write. IMAC 20" Model A1224 Bought Around OCT 2009. Running Snow Leopard i thought it might be a hard drive fault, i know from having a desktop p.c. for ten years or so when the hard drive goes, but as i have said i don't have a great deal of experience with mac's. is it possible to change any settings so that i can access the folders when running in linux, then i can at least check whether the hard drive is going? i use the mac nearly every day to do work on. i usually back up but i haven't for a few weeks, stupid i know. that's why i want to see if i can at least get to my files/folders. if something needs to be done, hard drive replaced etc then that's fine but i wanted to try something first. cheers [/QUOTE]
