Now I am wondering how to boot Linux on a Mac... I found a wonderful tool named "Mac Linux USB Loader" to create a Linux bootable with USB, but that tool is OSX only (since my OSX don't boot at all... it does not help).
Oh, and the Mac don't have a CD reader.
- thaumaturgy 11y agoBooting Linux on your Mac won't help. Safecopy doesn't repair the data on your drive, it just copies data from one drive to another drive -- but it does so very carefully, going back and re-reading bad sectors and narrowing down the amount of unreadable data. You'd need a second computer with extra drive space greater than or equal to the entire size of the hard drive in your Mac. I think you've gotta find some local help with this. It's tough to do much about it from here with less than a day before your work is due.
- speeder 11y agoMy idea is boot the mac, copy the code, and then edit it using the cloud mac thing suggested in another reply here in the thread... I am not sure if it will work, but so far is the best idea.
