Serena Ryder, bought by chance, mostly because she did a cover of Bruce Springsteen and his song Racing In the Street. A bit country I would describe it as, kinda like Melissa Etheridge maybe. Elin did really like the cover art on the inside of the cd cover
After successfully getting access to all my files using the install DVD I did a reinstall. When finished I created a user with the same user id as before. Then logged on and became a bit confused by the fact that it had the same wallpaper as before the crash. Turned out that the reinstall had not deleted anything in the old home folder, and when creating an identical userid I got access to all the old files.
A bit surprised by the fact that a complete reinstall is not really what I thought it should be, but hey…who cares right now!!!
Must admit that I’m still mad because our Macbook Pro decided to crash and not give me access to all our files, but at least I’ve just found a workaround.
Using the Install DVD, insert it and reboot while holding the c-button (makes your Macbook boot from CD/DVD). When the menu appears, from Utilities choose Terminal. With root privileges you have full access to the disk. Then insert a memory stick with enough space and voila. You will find both your memory stick and your hard drive in the folder /Volumes
Using copy (cp) you can copy all the files missing, and a voila…just reinstall the whole thing…and then up and running again.
Still pissed that the home folder got corrupted, but at least I managed to save all the files which I did not have a backup of (I rule!!!)
