[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 690014, member: 8287"] Yes for sure check the SMART and see what that says. Also you might run the Apple Hardware test. You access it on an Intel Mac by booting up with the Leopard DVD in the drive and holding down the D key instead of the C after the Start Up sound. Run the extended test as that will tell you a lot about the drive also. [url]http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509[/url] I am pretty sure it's the Hard Drive but that test will let you know. You can use pretty much any 2.5" Laptop SATA drive. I have had great luck so far with the WD Scorpio 2.5" but hear good things of late about the latest Hitachi line of notebook drives. [/QUOTE]
