[QUOTE="thunderoad02, post: 1647412, member: 121116"] I have a 2009 Macbook Pro 15. My hard drive made some clicking noises, froze, and restarted. After restarting, it ran fine. When i came back to it later, the computer had shut off and will not get past the apple boot logo. I dont have a backup (I know, I know). Question 1: Has anyone tried a recovery service and if so what can I expect - price, success, etc. The only thing I care about are the photos. Question 2 ; I read under Apple's Support page that my model will only be compatible with a 256 GB SSD. Is this true? Why cant I put a 500 SD in it? Question 3: How can I do about starting the laptop up with a clean hard drive that doesnt have Mavericks installed? [/QUOTE]
