<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">-------------- Original message -------------- <BR>From: Bill Palmer <whpalmer4@yahoo.com> <BR><BR>> There are only two kinds of hard drive mechanisms -- those that have already <BR>> failed, and those that eventually will. Yours is the latter, well on the way to <BR>> becoming the former. You should take immediate steps to get your data onto <BR>> something more reliable. My recommendation is an external Firewire disk at <BR>> least as large as the failing disk, plus a copy of SuperDuper! SuperDuper! will <BR>> make a bootable clone of your disk on the external drive. Do that regularly and <BR>> you can simply boot from the external disk when the internal drive inevitably <BR>> fails. Then you can use SuperDuper! to clone the bits from the external back <BR>> onto your newly replaced drive. If you're a do-it-yourself kind of guy, you can <BR>> get a replaceme
nt drive from Other World Computing or the like along with an <BR>> inexpensive external drive case, clone the disk, and then install the new disk <BR>> in the computer to replace the old one. If you value the data on the disk, <BR>> don't put this off... <BR>> <BR>> Good luck! <BR>> <BR>> Bill <BR>> <BR>> --- On Thu, 9/18/08, m_flynn@comcast.net <M_FLYNN@COMCAST.NET>wrote: <BR>> <BR>> > From: m_flynn@comcast.net <M_FLYNN@COMCAST.NET><BR>> > Subject: [Ti] System Drive problem <BR>> > To: Titanium@listserver.themacintoshguy.com <BR>> > Date: Thursday, September 18, 2008, 10:16 AM <BR>> > I have a Power Mac 1gig mem 60gb drive.
