[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1493624, member: 83420"] Never say never; but verifying and repairing a HD should not cause you to lose any data at all. However, as TattooedMac suggests, it looks as if your HD may be dying. If it were me, I would immediately create a backup onto an Ext HD either using Time Machine (free as part of your OS) or via cloning software which you have to purchase (SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner).
