Apple replaced the drive and I'm back up and running now. I'm very thankful to have my MacBook Pro back - I was stuck on a 17" iMac for a week and a half - smaller screen, slower processor, slower disk I/O - it was painful! And to the guys at DHL: Give me a #$@$* break! They claimed they "couldn't find the address" and showed up with my MBP a full day late. Let's see, I live in a townhouse community that's been here for 30 years, we've got FedEx, UPS, and DHL trucks crawling all over the place (especially around the holidays), and the driver had just made a delivery and a pickup at my house 4 days before. I think the driver just missed the package, or was running late for dinner, and needed an excuse for not making the delivery. Yes, dear readers - ship via FedEx, UPS or the postal service this holiday season... - Jon Thanks Patrick - but it appears to have been a hardware problem.

If you still got Tiger… use Disk Warrior. In case of Leopard - do not use the program. Personally I have tested it with Leopard, I didn't use the repair funcion, I just copied my files from within the Preview mode. I feel with you. patrick The same s**t happend to me 2 weeks ago.
