[QUOTE="italianie, post: 750886, member: 72436"] Thanks but I have already done this and the new disk boots perfectly as the primary disk and I can get into OSX fine and do all I need to. The problem is that on start up the mac also try's to mount or recognize the old internal disk as it would the dvd drive or any another secondary boot device. Since all the problems are still present with this disk, i.e. the clicking, I need a solution to stop it being seen by the imac. The only solution I can think of, would be to find a way for the failing internal hard disk to be permanently disabled, so it is not visible to the system, but I have no idea how to do this, which is where I'm hoping there will be a software solution or workaround.
