[QUOTE="ccfc1972, post: 1222268, member: 47286"] Thanks again. I tried to back up using Time Machine but there was about 130 Gig to copy, and it only did 4 gig (slowly) before it froze again. Booted it back up from the disk, did disc utility but wouldn't give me an option to repair, then when i tried to boot again it looked like it couldn't find a drive at all. Turned it off and left it overnight, came back on again this morning so i've been trying to copy a few things across onto a hard drive one by one, which I have done, but it keeps freezing half way when i try to export my mail from Entourage. When and if I manage to try Time Machine again, should I bet doing something different rather than saving everything? Or is that what needs to be done to restore it in future. [/QUOTE]
