[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1421497, member: 46727"] If the S.M.A.R.T. reporter says the hard drive is OK, it probably is. Booting from the DVD is normally very slow so I think we can overlook that. I suggest reinstalling Snow Leopard. Boot with the DVD, erase the drive (not the Windows partition) and reinstall. Be sure to backup all your data first before erasing the drive. [/QUOTE]
