[QUOTE="Head_Unit, post: 1178385, member: 135495"] 25% free space. I cleaned the insides when I swapped the drive, and the inlets and outlets aren't dirty. The case has a little play at bottom rear, maybe I'll see if it's really seated properly. I booted from an older OS X disc (couldn't find the Leopard disc-does it matter which version?). Repair was still grayed out. I think there's a way to repair from the internal from Terminal (??). Dangerous a bit, but I'm not going to spend the cost of a new drive for whatever the program is that can also "repair." I am all backed up at least. And the drive is still under warranty, so I suppose I can send it in. [/QUOTE]
