Sorry, but this is an internet forum... not an instant messenger application.thanks but i was hoping i could get immediate attention to this issue
go buy another HD. Put it in, install OSX, and see if your problem persists.
My bet is the HD is starting to DIE>
i think my harddrive on my macbook is messed up...
based on my research i think that my only option left is data rescue ii.
is there a way i can run data rescue from a healthy computer and somehow use it on my sick computer via a firewire cable????
It depends what the issue is. If the HDD will mount on a healthy Mac then you should be able to recover all your files from it. If there's a problem with the disc itself which stops it from mounting, then you'd probably need to send it to a special company to get the data from it.
I'd email the Data Rescue developers detailing the problem and let them advise you on your best course of action.
It genuinely does sound like a dying hard drive to me. Removing the old hard drive and fitting a new one would A) give you a fully functioning laptop again (without any of your file son there) and B) Your old hard drive which is dying could be put in an external enclosure so you could try and access the files from it without it having to boot OSX as well.
YES! Listen to Mr. Techie Guy! He will do what should have been done once it was realised the hard drive was on it's way out. He will most likely take it out and the "Some kind of Machine" will most likely me another mac, or a PC, but hopefully an external enclosure. Either of those will let him read the drive and hopefully copy the files on it to a stack of DVD's.
