I have a MACBOOK second generation bought in mid 2007. I experienced a hard drive crash in the month of MAY. I did not backup my data and learnt to do so the hard way. I came back to my hometown for vacation and decided to contact APPLE regarding this because the issue was not an isolated one. After a lot of bargaining i was able to convince them that the issue was genuinely a hard drive crash associated with SEAGATE hard drives in MACBOOKs manufactured in mid 2007.
My idea is to educate people regarding this so that they are benefited in 2 ways.
1) Backup data and 2) Contact apple regarding this.
Unless and until i stressed upon a replacement i didn’t get one. As far as i know APPLE recognizes this but has not issued a call back.
So users who have MACBOOKs(second generation), kindly make a note of this.

Thanks,

Naren Bharatwaj
