For the past few weeks my iMacs HDD gave me a mighty big click when it booted up and this morning it gave a series of clicks and a question mark folder.
Bugger!
After a few boot up attempts I've managed to boot into XP and I'm about to back the whole thing up. Ordered a new drive that should be here later today. But gawd almighty it gave me a shock. Mostly because all my works on the thing and the backups are a couple of weeks old.
But how should I go about transferring my files and stuff to a new drive? I want a 1:1 duplicate (though the new drive is 500gb opposed to 160gb) of both the OSX and XP partitions so I can just get back to work once the new drive is installed.
(now I have to find out how to replace the HDD on a white C2D iMac, great)
