[QUOTE="maccrash, post: 1341271, member: 226039"] [b]The problem continues[/b] I have replaced the crashed IMAC 20" drive and reinstalled all software and OS10.5.2. Now I am trying to get some of the data back from the crashed drive. A Mac friend of mine looked at it and said he was able to see the files and that all I needed to do was go in and make a disk image and drop the crashed drive into the new disk image and my files would be restored....not quite. I am still not able to locate any of the documents that I need. I am able to find some and even open them from the original crashed drive but not the 275gb of files and pics I do need to salvage. Have I misunderstood the steps of getting this to work? I though that if I droped the old disk image into the clone it would take days for 298gb of data to download. It took about and hour to set up the 300gb desktop image and, after I dropped the old disk image on it...10 sec to see a image of the old disk. Any thoughs would be appreciated on how to do this correctly. Thaks for you help and ideas. Maccrash [/QUOTE]
