[QUOTE="Collin Bl, post: 993515, member: 95994"] Hi Claire Welcome to the Forum. Now is the time to plan your back up scene. As you are no doubt aware it would have saved our bacon had you had one in place. Have a look [url="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/other-hardware-peripherals/184305-backing-up-time-capsule.html"]here[/url] at McBie's comments and then sort a plan that suits you. Here is the advice i just wrote out for another person new to forum; Once you have your new HD then, Reinstall Snow leopard onto the MB using install discs that came with it, download and Install the Combo Updater here Run Software update from Apple Menu until no further updates show up, then download fresh 3rd Party Apps you use, and if all is OK, then make a Bootable Back up using Superduper to an Ext HD - insurance against future problems, Then every week or so do a Superduper Smart Update - just saves any changes, Then your computing life should be stable.
