My Mac does not start anymore. The hard disk is strandedĀ š Macs and gravity are not good friends.
When starting on a backup disk, I manage to see some contents of the internal diskĀ Macintosh HD, but strangely some permissions prevent me to see everything. For example, in Users, I cannot explore all the home folders.
[Edit]
- How can I access the internal hard disk with full permissionsĀ ?
- Why don't I see everything on the internal disk when it is not the boot diskĀ ?
I want to salvage the data. To do this, I intend to do copies with the Finder.
Thank you for your insight on this delicate matter.
The internal disk, and the backup disk, have Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

One way to recover files from a "broken disk" without buying software, is to use the Target Disk mode.
You will need a second mac to do that, to which you would transfer the files.
