[QUOTE="jocko90, post: 1332755, member: 225230"] ok, here is where i am: 1) the hd on my 2006 mp is corrupted and is now making noises. i have already lost my 2nd hd. so i know that i shouldn't spend a bunch of money on a 5 1/2 year old computer. i need to buy a new one. 2) because i do not have an operating internal dvd, i have ordered a lion thumb drive that should be here in a few days. 3) i have backed up the hd onto a 1tb external drive. 3) my hope is to be able to fix the hard drive after i install lion. 4) what i would really like to do -- and don't know how to do it -- is to set up my mbp with all the backed up stuff so it can be my primary until i get a new computer. 5) new computer: i wonder if a mini computer would be a decent substitute for my 2006 mp? i hate to spend the money for an imac because i already have a 27" apple cinema display. lots of trouble!! :-( [/QUOTE]
