Today was both awesome and horrible. I got a new MBP Classic, but my imac G5 won't startup. I just keep getting the logo, gray screen, with the little spinning gear. I ran hardware test and received the error:

"2STF/8/3:S-ATA Bus O-Master"

I then ran disk utility from the disk and received errors on the hard drive when trying to verify and repair. I tried PRAM and SMU. I'm getting no where. The real problem is I don't have a backup of my data (I know, so so stupid) and my AC expired in May. Any ideas or help would be sooo much appreciated! I'm so broke now after getting this new MBP.

The funny thing is I'm getting Time Capsule from a buddy so I can start backing up and Wi-Fi. If only this happened 1 week from now. :rolleyes:
