I put a new Crucial 500GB HD in my MBP-mid 2009, 3 months ago. It now will not come off of the grey boot screen. I'm wondering if I can replace it with the original 250GB HD and then try to attach it to the DVD rom drive cable and access it as a secondary slave drive and pull all of the videos of my kids off and put them on a 3rd External HD with enough space to hold them. Crucial said they would send me a new drive once I send them the faulty one.
*Note: Apple store was able to use their machine to access the files on the faulty HD, but it said it would take like 3 days to pull the 300+GB of photos and HD videos to an external HD. These are irreplaceable family memories that I need to get back!! Help please!
Any suggestions? I don't have a 2nd Mac to use to try "target disk", so I need to get this one to boot and use it to retrieve data from the faulty hardware.
