My mbp crashed last night and I have used the disk utility from the snow leopard dvd to no avail. After the repair disk feature runs, it ends in saying the drive can't be repaired and that I should try to retrieve my data.
I have read that people have successfully used disk warrior and other similar utilities in these situations. Just wondering what the forum's experiences have been. I back up with carbonite and I also burned some back up cd's a few weeks ago. Should I waste time and $ trying to salvage the HD and the data or shoudl I cut bait and and replace it. I am a bit reluctant to do the latter b/c it means buying a whole new MS office suite (I don't have the source disks). Again, thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks!
