[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1559924, member: 131855"] Thanks. I thought about the problem using DU after I posted that. I started running Tech Tool Pro about 3 a.m. this morning. I got up for a few minutes about 7:00 a.m. and checked on things. The Mac refused to wake from sleep. That could be because TTP really shows the system down while checking for bad blocks. Only thing that bothers me though is that it also refused to awaken a couple of seeks ago when I left the Windows VM running to update XP. Same refusal to awaken. I too suspect a failing drive hence the desire for a clone. Shame too the drive is less than two years old. I thought about getting an SSD and Data Doubler combo but I'm not sure I want to spend that much right now. Especially on a machine of this age.:) I could pool that dough, along with the hefty moderator stipend, and have a top of the range Mac Pro in a decade or so. [/QUOTE]
