1.	Solve : recovery partition??
Answer» Do Macbooks come with a recovery PARTITION? I am coming from a PC background and was asked to CHECK out a Macbook that will not boot. My plan is to put the hard drive in an EXTERNAL enclosure, copy the data to another computer, REINSTALL the drive and reinstall the OS. GOOD? Bad? You tell me. Thanks Beuler? Beuler? Ferris Beuler? Any thoughts on my course of action? Any other suggestions?
