Thanks for the information. I just lost my second hard drive in five weeks. We own a dozen Macs including, 6 G4 powerbooks, and have never had any issues.

Sounds like apple needs to attach a big red sticker on the top of their new MacBook Pros "Do not move this computer until it is in safe sleep mode." Something I'll be sure to remember myself.

I back up pretty frequently, but I'm still out a few days work. Plus the huge hassle of having to wait another week to get this computer fixed again. And, I've spent a couple of hours on the phone and in person with Apple Support, they're not mentioning this issue. They should. All in all a pretty frustrating experience.
