.Dan Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hey guys, well as the title says, my MacBook is not booting and I need to get my files from the HDD as soon as possible because I have some pretty important stuff in it, so my question for you guys is if you know a program that i can buy or get for free that let me access the files of this MacBook and take them using an external HDD or something?? Thanks You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miuku. Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Almost any modern Linux distribution LiveCD will support HFS+ (Ubuntu / SuSE / Knoppix etc.) so you could use one to copy files out of it. Incidentally, how does it not boot? What are the symptoms? Have you tried booting in "Safe Mode?" -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
