I know what it feels like. I bought a new mac-mini for the family, transferred all the files over from our old imac and during the last part of process, ended up with the computer getting hung up so I rebooted and .... no harddrive apparent. Thank goodness that I had a backup copy of the old machine made before doing all the transfering. But, I'm up and running - and with a new MacPro laptop - Santa was very good to me ;) Have a great year, I'll be in touch. Kelly Dean,

But since the machine is already mapped, can I still create a partition? How would I set up dual booting? The closest I've got to using Linux is burning an Edubuntu CD.

ALl your stuff is saved on 10-20 gigs of the Data partition and you just keep programs loaded on your two other partitions (Windows and UbuntuLinux). It works great for me... If Windows dies for whatever the reason, you have 2 choices...boot to linux to access your data and since you're online, you can still do lots of stuff. Or, you can restore your Windows partition from a backup. Use Partimage to make backups of each partition, then you can restore them as needed from a 120gig usb drive (or whatever you have). Something to consider! Best wishes, Miguel Sorry to read about your laptop troubles…have you considered setting up your machine for dual booting and creating a data partition?
