Hopefully a few people remember the whole hard drive fiasco. How I missed school, bought an external drive, backed up my data and left my laptop to be serviced. They supposedly ran an entire days worth of load testing on it and found no problems. Now it won’t start up and diskwarrior can’t find it either…

Although it was a while ago now and the pain has lessened. I was really worried my hard drive was going to die on me and I would be without my Mac for a considerable time. I actually backup, but my backups are in Canada. This means anything I’ve worked on since I was in China would be at risk. I did the best I could with my iPod but, the best solution would be to clone the entire drive in the PowerBook…

I still haven’t gotten my autographed copy of the first one their first book, “Practical WebObjects”…
