I got back last night from a week in Seattle to see that my MacPro was dead - wouldn't boot, and I could hear the disk doing a repetitive not-happy-kind-of noise. I had another disk in the computer I had used for random backups, and a remote Time Capsule disk that theoretically had been making continuous backups - so this is what I did:
- Rebooted off Leopard DVD
- Selected restore from Time Capsule to restore to that second disk
- Went to bed
Total time: 10 minutes
This morning I have a Happy Mac.
Holy crap - when my wife's disk died on her laptop last month, I had the worst possible combination of all eventualities, and it took me about 10 hours to fix!
If only Macs had good office software, they would so rule.
