[QUOTE="Kevriano, post: 869212, member: 18605"] I would reckon the drive is shot, yes. Have you tried a cleaning disc? I know the same will probably happen,but may be worth a shot. If you are going to replace the Mac soon, then an external drive is the way to go for sure, as it will give you an emergency back up in the future too. I would try and get a firewire one personally, then you can use it for installs as well, should the need arise. [/QUOTE]
