That blinking ? might only mean that your Mac can't locate or recognize its startup files; you might be able to start up from your install CD/DVD and run Disk Utility on it to check and maybe repair the drive. <br /><br />I'd try Target Mode first, though. It wouldn't affect your hard drive at all and if it works you'd be able to copy off any and all files to the other Mac. <br /><br />If I can help, feel free to email me: geolink@sonic.net.<br /><br />TomSoCoTomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269295347248537302.post-65735606867719589172009-06-17T20:23:55.391-07:002009-06-17T20:23:55.391-07:00Ali, you guys should definitely check out the reco...Ali, you guys should definitely check out the recovery services that are out there. Not cheap but worth it if you really want your data back. Drive Savers in Novato CA is the industry best (and the priciest) but there are others. Before doing that, there are software programs out there that can retrieve data off otherwise corrupted disks -- Data Rescue is one. <br /><br />www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php<br /><br />Disk Warrior is another good program that will attempt to create a new directory of your drive. This can work wonders unless your drive has mechanical damage and can't spin up at all. <br /><br />Best of luck. I'm sure you'll never have to be convinced to back up again. <br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Tom from Sonoma CoSoCoTomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269295347248537302.post-30070917022693115282009-06-17T19:33:17.029-07:002009-06-17T19:33:17.029-07:00This too shall pass.This too shall pass.Ali and Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18118152460724234347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269295347248537302.post-78248391246075033402009-06-17T17:03:37.580-07:002009-06-17T17:03:37.580-07:00Ok, wtf?

Two months ago I lost everything...One full year of production planning for the next three and all my Todpod tunes (which as we all know are way more important than anything else...the same as your photos). I hope you can recover some of photos. The whole Mauritz family is votin for ya, asi que ojala resulta en algo bueno. Cuidate mucho amiga mia, no lloras tanto, y busca los abrazos del Don Evan para cariños. Con esos será todo bien. Te esperaré para tus fotos de Cali.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174674557931465466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269295347248537302.post-70180791030877481572009-06-17T14:02:27.881-07:002009-06-17T14:02:27.881-07:00Oh Ali, I'm so sorry!!!

My worst version of that experience was when my best friend's mother passed away, and I realized that even though I had backed up some things, my pictures from my last trip home (including some wonderful pictures of her mom) were not part of what had been backed up. I was devastated. I hope there is something more that can be done, as Tolovana said above. *hug*Deannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269295347248537302.post-84922767008589189442009-06-17T12:06:14.006-07:002009-06-17T12:06:14.006-07:00Do not assume all is lost.
