Try running Disk Utility or some other such tool and look at the S.M.A.R.T. Status for the drive. This will often tell you if there's a hardware problem with the drive. If the S.M.A.R.T. Status is bad, chances are you need a new drive. S.M.A.R.T. is an industry standard diagnostic capability built into most hard drives. When it starts reporting errors, you know the drive is gasping its last breaths. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
