[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1036844, member: 38864"] As the others said… if the hard drive itself is faulty, reformatting it won't make a lick of difference. Definitely back up your data, then plan on doing a hardware test as suggested. If the disk checks out, then you may need to simply defrag it. The latest version of iDefrag is the only one I know of that can do this without a special boot disk to access the drive. An old Powerbook I had was taking over 15 minutes to boot up until I ran iDefrag on it and restored my boot times to saner levels. But definitely check out the drive first. [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
