[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1811929, member: 46727"] What year and model is it? When was the last time you opened up your MBP and cleaned it out? If the fan is spinning up to 6000 RPM as you say, then something is wrong. One fan should be sufficient to cool that machine. I believe normal RPM should be around 2000. Also, if you open it up, check the cooling vents and fan to see if they're clogged with dust. Also check the thermal paste on the CPU heat sink. As for the mount point, I don't know how you're checking the drive with Disk Utility? Since Snow Leopard has no recovery partition, in order to run Disk Utility properly you must either boot from an external hard drive or from the Snow Leopard DVD. [/QUOTE]
