Hi David, I wonder if it's an Applie issue as I have a Macbook pro 17 only 20 months old and the DVD drive is faulty . It will read some Programs but not DVD's that have had anything burnt to them. My local Apple store recommended that I buy a $90 DVD burner instead of replacing the faulty

Hi Lynn, Firstly, I would suggest you don’t keep trying to boot-up MacBook. Shut it down and leave it alone until you can get the Data off the Hard Drive. The more you try to use the Hard Drive the less chance you have of being able to recover the Data. Secondly: Looking back through WAMUG

Hi Lynn, Its important to get your Data off the Hard Drive on the MacBook (if possible). If you have another Mac (which I presume you do as you are sending emails to WAMUG list). And an external FW Drive (or can get a l of one). I would suggest you install “Super Duper” or Carbon Copy Cloner” on
