[QUOTE="dannnnn, post: 986784, member: 141284"] no need to preach to me about backups, i use online backups :) if all you are using as a backup is an external hard drive then i think it is you that should be worried! what if you drop it? if your house burns down? ;) saying that the device is designed for NTFS is completely wrong - it copies the data sector by sector, so it doesn't even read the file system! and yup, it is still a software issue!! possibly the most frustrating thing about switching from a PC to a mac is that things work differently and you have to re-learn new ways of doing the same task! especially when people tell you that it's not possible! ;) is it possible to boot from a windows install cd on a mac?? maybe i could boot into a windows install environment and use windows to fix the problem?
