[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1559901, member: 46727"] If CCC was unable to render the drive bootable because of bad blocks, it would have told you so. Also, don't waste your time using Disk Utility to detect and repair bad blocks, it just isn't robust enough to do anything about them. Even to the point that sometimes it will tell you all is OK and it is not. Use Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior. You can't repair bad blocks anyway, all you can do is hope that Disk Warrior or whatever software you're using can move the data away from the bad blocks and then lock them out from use. You may be looking at a drive which is starting to go south.... [/QUOTE]
