comment How can I back up my OSX 10.6 Installation DVD and create a bootable USB drive?
Recently I formatted my HDD and when trying to reinstall OSX from DVD, I had to try several times before finally I could boot my mbp from DVD and install the OSX. Now, when I insert my OSX Installation DVD (original one), it keeps making seek-and-fail noise, and after about 2-3 mins it automatically ejects the DVD without opening it. What can I do? how can I take a back up? I can still open the DVD in my PC with no problem, it looks just fine there. I created an ISO image from this DVD in my PC. how can I mount this ISO image on an external HDD and make it bootable ?

Thanks Charlie, Well, it seems that what I was afraid that might happen, already happened. :(

What are the symptoms of a bad hard drive cable? Isn't it true that when the cable fails, the hard disk becomes totally unaccessible?

Thanks for your concern. Luckily my mbp boots normally with windows and I could back up everything. Now I want to be sure if it is a Hard drive failure or the hard drive cable is faulty. So that I wont be wasting my money replacing the wrong part!

comment MacBook Pro hard disk failure. How to recover and clean install?
So, based on the recommendation of you guys, I am thinking of heading to the shop. Since I am going to order online, can you guide me to know if the problem is from cable or from the hard disk? Given the conditions that I CAN boot into my NTFS (bootcamp windows) and it runs ok, and it only fails to recognise HFS partition, we can say that the CABLE is fine and the HDD is faulty, am I right?
