[QUOTE="MacDulles, post: 1611544, member: 334921"] Thanks for the encouragement ,Nick . I've already learned that my EMC ID is 2267. My MacGuru friend has all of those tools and will probably insist he be allowed to get his *geek on* and perform the operation or at least have me do the operation under his watchful eye at his personal Mac-Clinic Mac-Cave. Am tempted to take one MacForum member's advice and upgrade to SSD because less moving parts , a path I chose when retiring my aging Canon GL1 digital video-cam which used mini-casettes and when the physical minCassette tape mechanism heads went out of alignment I upgraded to an HD-capable ( 1920 X 1080 ) Vixia HF-S21 with flash memory cards and *never* looked back for the same reason, less moving parts, less to go wrong strategy. BTW: 64 hours straight w/ *no* further *kernal panic*, but I'm taking this as a heads-up warning that this iMac WD main drive has, indeed, struck and iceberg and is allowing me time get my affairs in order to abandon ship.
