Hi all,
nice to meet you here, and sorry for posting my first thread for a help
My three year old MBP finally had enough after weeks of heavy work. It doesn't bootup as normal. When bootup from the installation DVD, the disk utility cannot repair it and suggests to backup and reformat the disk. The problem I am facing now is that I don't have enough space on my external USB drive (and it's NTFS format if it matters). Am wondering is that any way I can backup the disk image to another windows7 laptop via the network?
Have tried to google about this but most of the instructions is to access Windows 7 share from a working MacOS, while in this mode seems the 'mount -smbfs' command doesn't work, which probably means it doesn't bootup with the SMB libraries.
Am wondering has anyone encounter similar problem before? Appreciate if you could shed me a light.
Thanks
