[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1655335"] We can end the discussion, but I wanted to say that the failure to install is not a failure of Apple, but something in your system. Millions of users have successfully performed that update. DU doesn't do an exhaustive check of the drive, so getting that message is not authoritative. As it says, the drive "appears to be OK." Not that it is fully OK, but to DU it appears that way. There are failure modes of drives that DU is not designed to detect, but which will interfere with system installation. I'd suggest you do a full backup and keep it current. That drive is most likely going to fail soon. [/QUOTE]
