MacBook Pro OSX Hard Drive Failure
Posted: 26 Sep 2012, 23:16
I have a MacBook Pro and the hard drive failed. It is not clicking or making any noise. The Apple Store said I need a new hard drive.
I setup a linux box and loaded in your linux testdisk. It recognized the drive and it is current doing a analyse of the partition.
I am using 6.14.WIP.linux26.tar.bz2 download. Am I using the right version of TestDisk for a MAC OSX?
I wasn't sure which file system I needed to select for the analyse. I think I select the MAC, but then it reverted back to another selection.
It is at cylinder 361/30400. It is moving extremely slow. I was trying to find a way to back up the drive first, but could not figure out how or if it was possible using TestDrive.
Thanks for your reply.
