Hi Bob >> What is the best Data recovery software on the Mac? > > Data rescue || gets good reports.
Year a good couple people have recommended to me I just thought I'd ask there's anything better out there > go here for a good price > <http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Prosoft%20Engineering/25100/> I'm pretty sure I got it cheaper than that through their MUG program (More information on this for GMUG members at our next meeting) >> Which is happy as he will not lose 420GB Of Data > > Careful : You don't know what corruption might be in there ! ? Year probably spoke little too soon on that one > Do you have any clue what may have caused this problem ? Yes 24-hour Torrenting Once a month with the computer overheating last month > Could be dicky hard drive or power supply OR Power OFF while in the > middle of a process When I noticed it was reading very slow from the hard drive making Everything very slow then I realised it was overheating and shut down The computer properly than when I tried to start up after everything cool down nothing So as I did not have enough free hard drive space on my current external hard drives I had to order some more extra external hard drives in As well as some Apple care as I realised I only had two weeks Left on my warranty Say it's been a very long and annoying process taking about among them three weeks > Unless you can explain it do NOT trust anything on that Mac until you can > build a history of trouble free ops. I will most likely get it looked over by a Apple service technician after I have recovered my data Which was the plan all along as I really did think the hard drive had completely failed not to mention overheating issue which seems to be not present any more Regards Kyle Kyle Kreusch (Webmaster) This e-mail was Dictated Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 (GMUG) Geraldton Macintosh User Group Website: <http://www.gmug.org.au/> E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Direct E-mail:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
