[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1631728"] As I previously said, take it to a tech. They can replace the HD for you, and yes Apple's current OS version is free of charge. What's really important here is that you make a backup of your current data (using Time Machine or whatever else you want) to an external drive before this hard drive dies completely. Once you have the new HD installed and the latest OS on it, you can reinstall Tuxera from your install disk (or re-download it free of charge if you bought it from the Mac App Store) and continue to use it to work with your PC-formatted external. I would recommend using a Mac-formatted external drive (ie a different one) to back up your Mac-formatted boot drive, however, rather than a Windows-formatted disk, as I don't think you will be able to use it with Time Machine, and clone programs will not work with it.
