[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1831268, member: 204485"] Okay, so it's about 6 years old which is a little over the expected life span for what is probably a HDD ( a mechanical spinning Disk). So this is the primary reason for a backup, the eventual, inevitable death /corruption of a HDD. Do you have a backup? If not can you startup into the Recovery Partition? Try booting while holding the R button or Command an R, it's different for different OS's. If so select Disk Utility and run Disk First Aid on your Macintosh HD.
