[QUOTE="techound1, post: 711871, member: 16113"] I would recommend tossing techtool and going with disk warrior. DW has recognized and been able to repair many, many more HDs for me than TT. My guess is that it's a disk issue rather than a board issue - the machine is old enough for it and you won't necessarily hear the clatter of the platters when a HD poos the bed. [/QUOTE]
