I recently paid Apple to replace the logic board of a Macbook Pro. Prior to sending it in, I replaced the HD with another, so I could access the files on my HD. When I placed the HD back in, the progress bar appeared during the boot up and suggested an issue with the HD. I tried to do a disk repair, but it failed.
My time machine will not allow me to access the previous backups. Should I manually back up all of the data by copying the user folder and the documents folder to an external HD? I figure that once I copy all of data, I can do fresh install and then copy the folders back. I have data in imovie, iphoto. Will I back up all of the data by coping the user and documents folders?
