I keep on getting the spinning wheel much to often every time I go to do something it spins. I was told that the hard drive is going bad. I have used super duper to back up my drive for the past year or so. I did have a problem the last back up and there was a bad file that Shirt Pocket helped me with and told me how to delete this bad file and then I was abel to complete the back up. My question is some person told me not to use the clone on the new hard drive because it would make the new drive bad too. Is this true? Is the drive going because of mechanical reasons therefore how would a clone to a new drive be in jeopardy? Thank you Lynn Heiser
Lynn, If the data on the hard drive is bad, the clone will be bad. Use Time Machine so you can go back to when the file was not corrupted. Please give us the last four figures of your serial number so we know your exact machine. What operating system are you running? UPDATE I’d first replace this cable: MacBook Pro 17" Unibody Hard Drive Cable Replacement I’m having great luck with the iTB Seagate SSHD. Get a Universal adapter, you can always resell it later on eBay: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech…
