[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1171471, member: 56379"] Good deal that this MacBook Pro is still covered with Applecare...but as mentioned...hard drives typically not covered...and in this case, the computer's hard drive has been working fine for 2 years & 5 months...so it's sort of tough to say it's a manufacturing defect. But...you never never know with Apple. If you take it to a local Apple Store...they just might replace it...or sell you a new one at Apple's wholesale cost (versus full retail). If Apple decides to go route #2 (sell you an HD at a reduced cost)...just make sure you know how much you can get the same size hard drive somewhere else...since Apple sometimes charges more for things. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
