Q. I bought 4 dell computers, 2 at a time. The first 2, the hard drives both died on the SAME day, they were under warranty. The second 2, again both hard drives died on the SAME day, 14 days after the warranty was over. Anyone have any issues on why the hard drives both died on the same day??
A. My dell drive went down slow and painfully after a long two days. The unforunate thing about this was that I had all my pictures on that drive. I take pictures proffessionally in a way and every picture was lost. The drive crashed out of no where one day when I was browsing the web. I sent the drive down to Data Recovery in Florida to see what they could recover from the dell drive and it was damaged so badly that they could not get anything out of the drive at all. Dell drives have not been known to be the best.
MacBook Start Up Failure?
Q. Yesterday my Macbook that I bought in the summer of 08' has been running extremely slow. I can barely open a program with out getting the loading beach ball. I tried restarting the computer to see if it would make a difference. It didn't. So I tried starting it in SafeBoot mode. It took like 3 hours to start up and then I shut it down to get out of SafeBoot. When I went to start it again, the start sound went off and then the apple shows up. The progress gear starts spinning and then it shuts itself down? Why does this happen? My recovery disc is in florida. Could I use an iMac recovery disc to recover my computer? Help!
A. It's probably a bad hard drive, in which case a recovery disc won't help. However, if you have that iMac handy and the version on it's restore disc is equal to or later than the on that Macbook, then you could boot the Macbook into Firewire target mode and hook it up to the iMac, boot the iMac from the disc, and restore. Just make sure to run a repair from Disk Utility first. If Disk Utility can't fix it, then don't even bother trying to restore. Just get your data out.
