I have a MacBook which is about 2-3 years old. As any Mac user does I run Disk-Utility every now and again and then do the occasional repair with Disk-Utility, If needed.
More recently when I have been running Disk-Utility it has been showing up errors more frequently; like wrong Volume Counts and wrong Directory Counts, therefore Disk-Utility says the HD is corrupt.
As always with any problems I run Disk-Utility from the Snow Leopard Installation Disk and do the required repairs.
My question is Why are the problems more frequent now then before when the Mac was new, is it signalling that my drive is coming to an end or is this normal?
I would rather not transfer things to a new Hard Drive and Install that as I am am reasonably new to Mac.
One other thing that I can think of is that I think there is a link, because when ever I have to force my Computer to shut down (this is not very often) and I then run disk utility it shows up the problems (like one number is wrong in the Volume/Directory Count).
Thanks for the help in Advance
