My son's laptop won't function, just shows the 'grey screen of death' - presumably equivalent to Windows blue death screen. He works away from home so I can't actually see the thing but has anyone any ideas for recovery (he's got some important jobfiles he was working on). Yes I know he should've backed up etc etc.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

But i thought Mac just work and don't crash ? If its really important, until he gets it fixed could he not just take out his HDD and stick it in another Mac and transfer the files to a Pen drive or something ?

CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."

for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
yes, all lies, I tell you, all lies!
over on the DV Doctor forums, some peeps (all lies I tell you!!!) have been having GSOD after updating to Snow Leopard. Apple is looking into it, apparently, and seems not an unknown problem
sigh - if only people stuck to Windows.......
One can never stop saying Thank You
Thanks Yosh & Terbinator,
Have suggested the straight drive swap to another laptop to start
Ta again
if u happen to have another mac with a firewire assuming the macbook has a firewire port too. u can boot up the macbook just like an external drive to copy out the files you need. google it and you will understand what i mean
