[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1084804, member: 56379"] Well...it would seem strange that a hard drive would be going bad after less than a year (since last August)...but anything is possible. And that Disk Utility says the HD is ok, and "Smart Status" says it's failing. Did you boot from the CD/DVD that came with the computer...and then run Disk Utility?. This is sometimes better than booting from your HD & then running Disk Utility. Like you said, you have Applecare, the computer is less than 12 months old, and you're having problems. I would say get to your nearest Apple Store & have them check it out...or get on the phone with Apple again. If you can't get to an Apple Store...then you're going to have to ship the computer to Apple...and the back & forth shipping will really lengthen the process. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
