[QUOTE="hempomatic, post: 1889176, member: 335450"] Thanks Jake. I have no intention of trying to use the drive that shows errors. As a matter of fact, it doesn't even appear on disk utility. I have a drive from another computer and I'm trying to format it. I can see it in disk utility but it shows full. I ran First Aid and no problems there. Now I'm TRYING to format it using Disk Utility on my clone drive which is running Mojave, however, it's taking forever. Is that indicating an issue? I have no issue buying a new drive, but I'm trying to prove theory that the computer can be repaired before I waste any money on it. The drive I'm formatting is a SATA drive, but it's an older spinning drive and I'm wondering now if formatting from a clone attached via USB to a disk with a slower read/write speed may be the hold up.
