[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 723442, member: 42497"] If you have the install disks that came with it, run Apple Hardware Test and see what that reports. If you do not have that, download from here, which will be a .dmg file. Drag that to the left hand column of Disk Utility and burbn to a CD and this should then be bootable. [url]http://search.info.apple.com/?as_epq=apple+hardware+test&btnG=Search[/url] If all is well boot from theinstall disc, and go to Utilities and run Repair Disk from there as you cannot repair a disk the machine is booted from. If you do a clean install yes you will lose everything so if the worst comes to the worst, be prepared. [/QUOTE]
