[QUOTE="McYukon, post: 1115407, member: 101117"] This is why one should always have a backup. Have you tried all of the above? If you have and it hasn't worked, I would do this. Take out the MacBook Pro's HD [url=http://www.ifixit.com/Browse/Mac]Mac - iFixit[/url] Then use another Mac and use something like [URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/FWU2ES2HDK/"](this)[/URL] to access the HD and copy all the important files to a separate clean HD. Reinstall the buggy HD into the MacBook Pro, use the install disk to wipe it and reinstall the OS. Then copy the files back to where they belong. [/QUOTE]
