hello all, took plunge , bought 27" i7 imac arrived last thursday... naturally quite happy. installed bootcamp / windows osx , playing games nicely. after booting osx imac froze completely.
...long story short freeze caused initial error node b error in disk utility accessed via internet recovery on lion, before progressing not let me access hard drive @ all, showing smart status failing. looks pretty screwed @ point , won't boot anything, recover hard drive section lion provides. done pram refreshing, single user mode, works , not had luck.
fortunately have applecare , booked in genius appointment later. know if apple offer data recovery services @ , if incur fee, , in light of being week old odds of having done complimentary? dissapointed purchase far...
sorry, wasn't imac's lucky day or yours. @ least you'll fixed free no hassels. happens every once in while. @ least had week. it'd worse if had year , hd broke. also, you'll know importance of backups.
