During the time you have your Mac there will be times that things will go wrong. Sometimes you’ll cause it, like say repartitioning your hard drive with Boot Camp. Apple’s application for taking a section of your Macs internal hard drive and installing Microsoft Windows on it. Say your in the middle of the process and your Mac kernel panics. For those who haven’t seen this happen it’s a lovely process where in a dark translucent curtain falls over your macs desktop and a large restart button appears on the middle of the screen with instructions saying that well “Your Screwed!” Please Reboot.

Now in most cases of a kernel panic you would just lose the unsaved data in open applications. But in my case the computer was in the middle of a process that effects how the hard drive stores my data. Making all the data inaccessible.

There is an old geek saying

There are two kinds of people:
1. Those who have lost data.
2. Those who haven’t lost data yet.
