[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1577164, member: 24160"] If you have the installer - grab an 8 GB flash drive and create a bootable disk on it. Here's a couple of ways to make one - [URL="http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/10/how-to-make-your-own-bootable-os-x-10-9-mavericks-usb-install-drive/"]link[/URL]. Boot to the flash drive (hold down the option key while booting) and head for Disk Utility there to try a drive repair. It's possible, if you can repair the drive, it could run fine for a long time. Personally, when a drive begins having issues, I'm looking to replace it as soon as I can. [/QUOTE]
