Hell has come into my life! So yes my mac's hard drive was erased and it totally sucks!!!
I am so pissed. I had alot of projects in the works, that will have to be completely recreated.
There is nothing that I can do about it! I do have a external hard drive, but it had not been updated in a while. I guess I am lucky though that I did not get compltely screwed time wise, I don't have any deadlines coming up that I am not going to be able to meet. But I very surprised at how mac has handled the whole situation, I have not even had the computer for a year, and I requested that the whole computer be replaced, but they would not have it, especially seeing as I use this machine for my work, so this is my livelihood here. I guess I will just have to wait and see if this hard drive problem was an issue with the computer itself, or something external. I will be making sure though to back up my hard drive regularly. I have to say having your hard drive erased off a computer that you use for work is similar in stress to someone dying, I pretty much had a nervous breakdown in the mac store a 2 days ago! AAAHhhhghggg...... Well this wont happen again, to me anyways, and I hope that it never happens to you!
