At least you got plenty of space now!
So it booted before you installed the new drive?

Yeah fuggers, I am still around!
Yes.
The mockery from it is deafening- Right now it is running updates and not even breaking a sweat. DAMN MAC- ugggh- It did this the moment I got my confirmation from the purchase of the new drive-
Funny enough I am gonna do more mods since I have to open it up... I am gonna attempt to paint the case since my screen mount is a lil flimsy- anywhoo... Once done I might post some pics
I had a buddy who had a drive that wouldn't spin up. On a hunch, he put it in the freezer for a couple of hours and the thing started working...!! At least long enough to get the data off the drive....then, we took the offending drive shooting.... :laugh:

Were you running any anti-virus programs?
Cheekie
Yeah fuggers, I am still around!
Uhm nope, I guess I grew complacent to the fact that mac isn't know for catching cooties.... Alas- I run stock stuff no third party anti virus.

Hey BBS - How did that hard drive shoot? :laugh:
Cheekie - Sorry to hear about all the trouble, but at least you'll get a chance to rescue your info. I've worked on lots of computers where the drive goes bad and that's it...no recovery (for a reasonable amount of $$) possible. Mocking you? Or maybe just cutting you a break.....
