[QUOTE="Chris H., post: 1104457, member: 124706"] Your hard drive is shot. You'll need to replace it. Once you replace it, you'll need to reinstall Mac OS X on it, and format it for use with Mac OS X (which it should do). Your options are Tiger or Leopard. Considering the processor speed, I'd say Leopard is good, Tiger is much better. But your choice to make. To clarify though- is it your back up drive, or the internal, or both, that are "catching up, chugging, and dying"? [/QUOTE]
