Hard disk replacement program
I just received an email from Apple saying that my iMac hard disk needs to be replaced urgently. I made an appointment with the Genius on coming Sat. I have some questions about the replacement and seeking the advice with other people who has got similar experience.
1. Does Apple replace my old hard disk with a brand new hard disk only? If so, it gives me very painful exercise to re-install all the softwares.
2. Can they clone my old hard disk with the new hard disk to save my lots of hassle?
3. In my hard disk, I have a partition for BootCamp with Windows 7 OS. Do I need to re-install it completely as I believe Apple will not touch other OS?
On one hand, I am very impressive with Apple reliable and responsible service and on the other hand it will interrupt my usage of iMac for sometime. I am seeking the advice from other experience hands.
Thanks,
