QUOTE(soonwai @ Dec 27 2010, 04:16 AM) Looks like the MBP isn't detecting the HD. Might be a bad HD. No flashing folder no apple logo... Just white screenDo you get a flashing folder with question mark if you wait long enough? Do you get the Apple logo? Can you boot in Verbose mode to see what's wrong? As benny888 suggested, try booting from the DVD and running disk utility. But if you have important data, better take out the HD and recover it on another computer before doing anything else. I've tried press the power button and the C key to boot from the CD but no luck.... How am I gona reformat my Mac? Any idea how this happen? I was away from my laptop for about 15 minutes and this crap happened... Was just surfing the net... |

QUOTE(soonwai @ Dec 27 2010, 07:16 AM) Can you boot from the DVD if you remove the HD? If not, could be motherboard problem. I'll give it a try later when I get back from class...Don't think it'll help but can also try to reset the PRAM. Just to double confirm... I bought my MBP from Aus, I can still claim warranty from apple resellers here right? |

QUOTE(benny888 @ Dec 27 2010, 06:57 PM) If is under warranty , why don't you just replace the hard disk. They will backup all your dta ( as much as they can salvage it). It will take about a week maximum if the service center has no HD on hand. If they have within 2-3 days maximum Hmm.... I bought it from Hikari... I guess I'll have to shipped it back to her...Not sure if I still have the receipt... This post has been edited by zXJaMeSXz: Dec 27 2010, 07:06 PM |

QUOTE(wiraone @ Dec 27 2010, 07:11 PM) What did you bought from her? The HD or the notebook? If it is still under warranty, might as well just go ahead asking them to fix it.. if it is HD problem, it is faster if you brought you own HD, ask them to swap it.. just like what I did.. bad thing about Apple support centres here .. they don't stock up anything .. so everything will take a week to get resolved. I bought the Hard Disk from her.... Might have to go to a Seagate center to get it fixed... I just swap one of my old HDD from my old macbook... Aikz, stupid momentus XT spoiled for no reason.... |

QUOTE(soonwai @ Dec 27 2010, 11:17 PM) Yep, very easy. Some larger apps such as Office or Adobe stuff still require installation but most you just drag and drop it into your Applications folder. Frequently used apps, you can put into the dock. For others you can use Spotlight (the magnifying glass icon in the menu bar) to launch them. I thought uninstall just drag to the rubish bin?The uninstalling part is a bit more involved. |

Just received my Momentus XT back form Seagate...
Installed a fresh copy of OS... Dam, it's way faster then before and running really smooth... Even my first boot is really fast... If anyone is getting this HDD, please do a fresh install to experience the true performance... |
