Mo hard drives mo problems Wed, 19th Dec 2007
So.. a few weeks ago my laptop hard drive completely stopped working, PLUS my G5's hard drive started behaving strangely, so the outlook for me having a working computer was not good. Above is a picture of my G5's old hard drive which i have just replaced, I got a 400GB Hitachi which ive partitioned into 2 volumes. As for my macbook it seems to be completely dead, ive tried a number of things (Disk utility, fsck, safe mode, single user mode) all of which do nothing, it looks like the drive has completely failed (after only a year of use, just after the warranty expired). However i recently found the instructions for replacing the macbook hard drive so i should hopefully have that sorted asap. Also the space in our NAS is running low so it looks like ill have to fork out for another two hard drives for that as well! It seems that today, speed is not as much of a limiting factor as storage.. luckily for us the price per GB keeps going down.
