[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1762431, member: 131855"] I probably would do a backup first. That way if the drive is starting to have issues you'll have a copy of your data. The First Aid option isn't in System Preferences. Since there is some question about the health of the drive it's probably best to try the following procedure. I usually do this by shutting the computer down first then do the following: 1. Power on the computer then immediately press and hold the option key. 2. Pretty soon you should see a list of bootable drives connected to your Mac. Click the one that says something like "Recovery". If necessary hit Return. 3. The Mac should start booting then you will be presented with several options. Choose the one that says Disk Utility. 4. Once Disk Utility opens click the Macintosh HD symbol on the left then choose First Aid. Once things are finished restart the computer normally. [/QUOTE]
