    "i know, i know, this is my fault for not backing up in the first place, but i'd have though apple would take some responsibility for the data, but no."

    why would you think that?

    i had a hd crash once, but only when it would get warmed up. i had to frankenstien the hd as a slave to pull data off.

    basically stripped the hd down to the bare parts and set it up as an external hd without a case and booted from a new hd i installed in the computer, then as fast as i could pulled data off the old hd before it had another meltdown.

    if you can't get it to boot as a slave take it to a true computer nurd and see if they can do anything with it.

    sorry.
