Help. MacBook had what appeared (to me and Apple) to be a hard drive issue but ultimately proved to be a bad RAM card. A full TM backup was done prior to service, then in the diagnostic process, the drive was reformatted. I got it back clean today, booted, and began a TM backup. It has now been running for 3+ hours and indicates it is 107% complete with 2.1 billion hours remaining.
Any ideas?
One clarifying question: This is the first time I've had to perform a TM restore. It is not necessary to separately install OSX prior to running the restore, is it? I have original install disks, but my impression was that running the full restore would handle reinstalling OSX on the formatted drive. Is that true or could that be part of the problem?
Thanks in advance.
