My startup disc has now got un fixable errors. Luckily it is partitioned and all the important stuff is on the other one, which is fine. There is some stuff on the startup disc that I want to back up before I erase it and reinstall the OS.
Question. How the fuck do I do that? How can I copy the contents of that good partition, and hopefully as much as possible from the bad one to an external disc when it won't start up.
 
you could use crashplan to back up the entire drive. it's cheap enough, and you can leave it backing up all the time.

might take a while to do the initial back up, depending on your internet speed/back up size

definitely something you should have running in the future so you can avoid this sorta hassle

crashplan.org


oh wait, it doesn't start up?

no idea, pete will fix it
 
I'm copying the contents to a new drive now. Taking ages. When all this is done I reckon it's only time before I need a new HD in the machine. Where can I get this done?
