i was upgrading my mac from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 and the software update crashed on me, i rebooted, and nothing happened, i tried booting into windows 7 (i am currently dual booting OS X and windows 7) and that didnt boot either, i booted of from my OSX dvd, and all the test failed, and it took about 30-45 mins to scan, and now i am worried, and i didnt have the chance to backup anything. can anyone help me out there?
i am currently on my other laptop and i am download ubuntu 9.04 and i am hoping that my files will still be intact.

Mac osx ***** and wil never be anything but one massive problem. The mac os feels just like a cad program to me. Complex as hell and useless if you don’t know EVERYTHING about it. Trash mac keep windows 7, and get another stable os, as win 7 is still just rc1, like winxp, cuz vista *****.
I had the same problem. I called Apple service people. They couldn’t help me. The operating system had crashed, and couldn’t be recovered, she said. She asked to me to go to authorized apple repair people and had my files backed up. They will install Leopard (10.5.6) back to my Macbook. I plan to file a complaint to Apple about 10.5.7. I just bought the latest Macbook, this shouldn’t happen to me.
Peace
