Please Help with suspected HDD problem
Running iMac OSX v 10.7.5
2.8 GHz intel core 2 duo
2GB 800MHz. DDR2 SDRAM
seems to be a common thread now i'm here and reading this. Really in "shtum".
Got a really slow running mac trying desperately to get the last 8 years of my life from my iMac after dropping my time machine backup whilst trying to fix it.
Now with a reboot with cd, in disk utility, I cannot copy my files to a new seagate 2TB external drive.
I cannot seem to mount my Macintosh HD drive, and every time I try to repair it it rabbit-holes itself with "invalid node structure" reports.
My main concern is just getting my data off the HDD.
Any ideas out there people?
