Hi just posting for some advice before I give up and reformat the drive.
I was using my MacBook Pro as normal a few days ago and it shut down unexpectedly. I tried rebooting but it only loaded half way and powered off every time.
I connected it to another mac via firewire800 and booted with target disk mode. I was able to view the disk (SSD). Some of the applications were present but no user files are available. I tried running file restoration programs but they didn't retrive anything. Disk utility tried to repair the drive but couldn't.
There's a few documents and PowerPoint files I could do with getting back but this is looking unlikely.
Does anyone have any advice before I reformat the drive? Would Apple be able to help I'm booked in with a genius next week just incase.
Cheers
