[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1579421, member: 38864"] I'm most inclined to agree with all the prior advice given, but all this disk activity makes me wonder if the drive is failing.

See my guide linked below for how to do more thorough testing. [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-operating-system/301467-ntfs-mac-not-working.html#post1528773[/url] [/QUOTE]
