General / Off-Topic I've been given someone's Mac System disk...

Last night a friend gave me the non-booting disk as returned by Apple following a repair/replacement to see if I could recover any of their data ... except it turned out not to be their disk, it's full of some stranger's data. Naughty Apple!

This kind of thing should give people pause IMO, about taking a computer in for repair with its disks still present, not that you have much choice with most retail PCs where you're trying to get warranty/after sales service.

That is a serious infraction and your friend should contact Apple support.

I actually had the opposite problem where Apple support wiped the hard drive to do an install of a later OS rather than a migration (When it was in for screen replacement) . I mean they wiped the drive - including the other partitions.:mad:

I'm sure he will contact them, not least to try to get his own disk back. I don't hold out much hope of that by now :(
