[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1019794"] Yes, you have a dying/dead hard drive. If TM didn't back up the stuff on the failed hard drive, you have lost it. In your original post you DIRECTLY contradicted your latest post so forgive us if we are a bit confused. Data Recovery services like Drivesavers may well be able to get back all your un-backed-up data, but it will cost you DEARLY. We're talking $1200+. I'm not at all clear on what, if anything, you backed up using Time Machine, but whatever you DID back up with it is easily restorable once you get a new hard drive to restore it to. I recently did this on my own system (no crash, just a test) and it worked perfectly. [/QUOTE]
