I have a bit of a tough choice here...
Out of need to run some Freescale DSP board programming software, I've installed Windows onto my macbook.
In true Windows style, it has managed to cock something up. It shouldn't have touched my external drive, but it has. Now OSX won't read the drive, but Disk Utilities does see it and appears to be able to make an image of it. It's a 250gig drive, so it will take awhile.
The dilemma is, what to do next. My macs HD is 120gig and pretty full. Ive just deleted a load of apples loops to make space for the compressed image of my external drive. I'm hoping that will be enough.
I'm very tempted to just wipe the f*ing lot and start again. For a couple of reasons.
1) It appears my OSX install isn't the full one. I had to manually find the bootcamp.pkg and install from the supplied disc. I cant help wonder, what else maybe missing. Therefore it might be worth reinstalling OSX from the disc, rather then keeping the image from the factory that missed bootcamp.
2) I didn't mean for the mac HD to get that full. It's mostly Logics fault. And lately Logic has been giving me jip. I'm possibly therefore considering waiting to see if the external can be pulled back, copying the bits of cwork I need onto it, formatting the mac, installing Logic etc again but shifting its sample packs onto the external during the reinstall.
I'm then left with the question of what to do with Windows. Should I delete that and reinstall as well. I will eventually get around to using it again for Music production. At the moment it has a 13gig partition to itself, but I tihnk it might be wise to give it more...
Computers. I hate them when they say NO
