If it shows in Disk Utility then inthe left coloum, click on your FG HD and then try Repairing Permissions on it . . Once done log out then back in and see whay happens.

I need to find out if my hard is damaged from downloading a wrong file, and what about 4HDD/11/0000004: SATA (,) error message on hardware test.

Thank you.
