[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1814211, member: 131855"] I've had a similar experience Rod. Some time in late 2009 the spinner hard drive in my Mac Pro (2006 era) failed mid week. Given the age of the machine at thhe time I was fully prepated for some type of major malfunction. Booting from a clone I'd made a few days before allowed the machine to run fine albiet a bit slower. I ran like that for several days before having time to diagnose the problem. Over the following weekend I did enough testing to convince myself the hard drive had died. Thanks to Apple Care a replacement was cross-shipped to me. I used CCC to transfer everything from the clone to the new hard drive and I was back up and running. The nice thing about the recent versions of CCC is that I can be doing other things on my Mac while the clone is being made. [/QUOTE]
