[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1312842, member: 8287"] I really like Western Digital. You need a 2.5" SATA Notebook drive. I do agree with everything Chas said in his post. Almost an echo of what I would have posted. One quick thing you might do, boot with the OSX DVD like you already did and in disk utility check the SMART status of the hard drive. Is it Pass or Fail? It's at the bottom of the Disk utility when you click on the main drive. I would get the new drive and do what Chas suggested ASAP so maybe you can recover some of your data!! If we can help in any way let us know. Also please report back with how it all goes!!! [/QUOTE]
