[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1751724, member: 234411"] Hello again - as already requested, make sure that your HDD is backed up - as many do here, I use a combination to TM (Time Machine) and a cloning app (CCC - Carbon Copy Cloner myself). You also should check the health of your drive - Disk Utility can be used for that purpose - info [URL="http://www.chriswrites.com/how-to-health-check-your-macs-hard-disk/"]HERE[/URL] - also (if supported by your 2010 HD - not sure), you can also check its S.M.A.R.T. status (use 'About This Mac' -> System Report and scroll down to storage) - see the image below concerning the status on my 2013 MBPro. Let us know your results. Dave :) . [ATTACH=FULL]26155[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
