[QUOTE="poppi, post: 1704069, member: 214058"] Thanks for thew suggestion Nick. Tried ONYX and first it checked S.M.A.R.T. then went into verifying startup volume (Hard Drive) but never seemed to finish the latter. After that the Mac was still VERY slow. Checking the hard drive I saw 198 GB used (before ONYX) then 172 (after ONYX) but on restart I got the same alert message and found 236 GB used. No way I can be adding and deleting that many GB to the hard drive. Do you think it is toast? I am long beyond the warranty. Is there any hope in taking it to the Apple store for diagnosis? Thank you poppi [/QUOTE]
