[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 836321, member: 24098"] Well, the symptoms sure do sound like a bad hard drive, and the hardware test seems to confirm the diagnosis. Thinking about the situation critically, there are very few moving parts inside of an iMac. There's even less moving components that are extremely complex and have a high failure rate. When you factor out the least likely to fail components, you're left with one fairly solid culprit - the hard drive. Fortunately, it's inexpensive to replace. Unfortunately, on the iMac, it's fairly difficult to get to. [/QUOTE]
