@Steven,
Sorry to hear that. At least you were backed up. New hard drives aren’t too pricey, usually, and certainly cheaper than reclaiming the lost memories.

Good luck.

well, well, well. my macbook has died. well, the flawed Seagate drive in it has, totally at random, with just a few ominous clicks as it’s minimalist death rattle.

it’s about 15 months old, and I didn’t get AppleCare, so i’ve gotta scour some computer shops here in suzhou for a new HD to stick in it. luckily i backed up my personal stuff, but neglected my blog and magazine material.

so, i guess i won the dead HD “lottery” i mentioned 3 weeks ago in the comment above!

H-
Funny you say that…I use Windows and the reason I want to switch to Apple is that I think Microsoft tries to control its customers…the reason I haven’t switched yet though is Apples are definitely still too expensive.

i checked my macbook a few days ago, and it turns out i have one of those potentially flawed Seagate drives. What to do? After browsing the Apple support forums, it seems all that one can do is hold tight and hope ur one of the lucky ones. not all of those Seagate drives with that serial number and revision number fail, they’re just failing at an exceptionally high rate. So it still sucks. And it’s a bit of a lottery.
