And, they let him keep the old hard drive, so he can make another attempt to get any remaining files. Then he can reformat it and . . . (drum roll, please) . . . use it as his backup drive!

Maybe I'm a bit paranoid but I would never again use a hard drive that failed.
Instead, keep the drive and scan it with data rescue if he has crucial files missing.

I'm sorry you do not see any value in my contribution. However, this is an open forum. I would suggest simply not replying if you don't like what a fellow member has added.

Have a nice day.

Seems like nobody cares about what you post. Yes this is an open, public forum. However, maybe you should take your pointless and unhelpful remarks to a different forum. After what you pulled in my thread and what other people thought about it I'm surprised you are still here. From here on out whatever you say has no credibility.

Congratulations and have a nice day 😀

HD showed a yellow exclamation mark, btw did yours show that at all?

No, no exclamation point.

The tech who helped my son told me afterwards that the issue with his MBP could have been caused by any of three things: (1) operating system failure, (2) hard drive failure, or (3) bad hard drive cable. The last one is apparently a very cheap and easy fix.

I'd suggest you start your own thread - perhaps with the title "Exclamation Point?" Good luck!

My understanding is that it was the operating system that failed - not the hard drive. The tech replaced the hard drive as well just to be on the safe side . . . and to give my son one more shot at recovering any remaining files. If it had been re-installed, it would have had to be reformatted, and that would have been the end of file recovery.

So, hard drive should be fine. And it will be a secondary back-up only. The kid will also be saving all important files remotely.

I simply asked why you were taking pictures in a childs room.

I was not the one reprimanded by the mods for posting animated items against forum policy.

Please direct your anger else where.

Really... because this is the message from the Mod quoting your post:

MOD NOTE: Please stay on topic and avoid useless animated GIFs.

Time to look in the mirror. Please leave me alone now
