[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1579368"] Let Onyx finish. Killing it by hard shutdown in the middle may have only made the problem worse, not better. The opening of the program is the step Onyx uses to test the internal boot hard drive, so let it run and be patient. If you have a lot of problems, or if the drive is full, that process can take a while. From all the descriptions you've given, your drive is pretty well screwed up and Onyx will take a while to sort it. [/QUOTE]
