[QUOTE="cnd, post: 898045, member: 118297"] I installed Snow Leopard on Friday, and instantly noticed that my early 2008 model iMac was acting buggy. Never had a single issue with it before that day. Sure enough, less than 24 hours later I restarted and got the dreaded flashing question mark. After 3 hours of troubleshooting with AppleCare (including a complete - GULP - erase of my hard drive), they determined that my hard drive is toast and now I have to bring it in to a store for repair. How does this happen?? I am no computer whiz so hoping someone out there can help me understand what, if anything, explains this. Also, (since I am sweating bullets and could not get an appt at the Genius Bar until late tomorrow evening) - can I rest easy knowing that my Time Capsule is keeping all of my data safe and sound? Call me crazy, but I'm a little paranoid now. I DID do a complete backup prior to installing 10.6. Has anyone had this happen and restored EVERYTHING via Time Machine? Am I stressing for no reason?
