SMART Status: Failing

For the past month and a half I've been battling hard disk problems with my iBook. I've had to format my hard disk quite a number of times, even zeroed it this past time, yet problems persist.

Today I started running disk utility and down at the bottom in red it says "S.M.A.R.T. Status: Failing"

So does this mean that the hard drive is finally going to kick it and that apple owes me a new disk? or what?

this iBook isn't even a year old and I've been plagued with disk problems, I'd be happy if they did just go ahead and replace the ****ed thing.

You will be experiencing a disk failure soon. If your system is under warranty, then Apple will replace it. Back up all of your data as soon as possible if you have not.

hahaha, already working on it.


....10 gigs of music, 7 of graphic design work...


it's gonna be a long day...

i hope you didnt bury your recipit to take it back to apple

ha, they know me by name by now.

I already had to send it to them to get the logic board replaced.


I hate to say it, because I love my iBook, but more things have broken on it in the past 10 months than my parent's PC in 4 years. tisk tisk apple, get it together.
