[QUOTE="camurph01, post: 1393429, member: 227691"] Hello. I have been hearing a nasty sound coming from my iMac (1.7ghz, i5, 4gb 27" Mid 2010, OS X 10.6.8). Reading the forums has me concerned as to how best to proceed. Large activity spikes in drive activity. Definitely sounds/seems like a HD issue. From DIsk Utility I am getting the following: The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired. Also this: Error: This disk needs to be repaired...then use disk utility to repair this disk. Dusk utility is suggesting that I start my cpu with another disk such as the Mac OSX instal disc. Problem with this is I do not have one/may have lost it. I am wondering at this point what I should do. I have been backing up using TM so I believe my data/files to be safe. Can I clone using CCC or Super Disk to create a bootable disk? Also, if so can I clone to the external drive that I am using for my TM backups (this is all assuming that I can "fix" my internal drive). I'm confused as to the best way to proceed Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
