[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 985067, member: 8287"] Two things you can try really fast. First boot from the OSX DVD that came with your Mini. From the Utilities Menu up top select Disk Utility and click on the drive. See what the SMART Status says at the bottom. Does it say passed? Also Boot holding down D with the DVD that came with the Mini (Not the 10.6 one) and it will load the Apple Hardware Test. Run the extended test and see if it finds any issues with the hard rive.
